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.

That I May Gain Christ
When Saul of Tarsus was saved on the road to Damascus, his perspective on life changed: the things he once considered gains, he now counted loss for Christ. He suffered the loss of all things that he might gain Christ. This morning we look at 4 different aspects of what it means to gain Christ: our Position in Christ, our Personal Relationship with Christ, laying hold of Christ's Purpose for our life, and pursuing the Prize we will receive when Christ comes to take us home.
