Is the baptism of the Holy Spirit still for today? Is it biblical? Why do we need it? Ephesians 5:18 says to be filled with the Spirit, and that is a command. Why do we not see the need for this in todays church world? Why is there such ignorance and misinformation about this topic? #Jesus @baptizedwiththeholyghost #filledwiththespirit #christianity #foundations

More than just a ritual, baptism is a public declaration of faith, a symbol of our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection, and an act of obedience to His command. We’ll walk through key Scriptures that reveal how baptism reflects the inward reality of salvation and marks the believer’s entrance into the body of Christ. If you're a new believer seeking to understand the deeper significance of baptism, this episode will help ground your faith in the truth of God's Word. #baptism#Jesus#bornagain

Do we need it? What comes to your mind when you think of discipleship? How about refining? Look at what most of the people mentioned in the bible had to go through in their lives. None of them had an easy life. None of them were the most “qualified” or at least they didn’t think they were. Moses, Joseph, King David, Gideon, Esther, the list goes on and on. Today we want to look at what it takes to become a man or woman of God. What is the making process of God?
