The purpose of this series is to look at the concept of baptism as it is described in the Scriptures. Most people have a very narrow view of baptism that is often based on church traditions rather than the Word of God. Baptism, as it is seen in both the Old and New Testaments, is a much deeper subject; it has great spiritual meaning beyond that of a simple religious ordinance or ritual. When a person hears the word “baptism” their first thought is usually water baptism, but there are many different baptisms spoken of in the Scriptures, most of which do not involve water at all. In this series of lessons, we examine the various baptisms found in the Scriptures to see the origin and meaning of the word, and to understand the importance of the spiritual baptism that places us in Christ in this present dispensation.
These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2021-2022 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Future of the Body - Part 1
The future for the Church, the Body of Christ, is not the same as that of God's earthly people, Israel. In these final two messages, we look at 4 "Final" aspects to the future of the Body: Final days, Final event, Final judgment, and a Final state. In this message, we focus on the final days for the Church of this age.
Scripture References: 2 Timothy 4:1-5, 2 Timothy 3:1-17
