Episode notes
Don't Build Doctrine On Confusing Verses
- 1 Peter 3:21 is complex and often misused to claim baptismal regeneration.
- Josh Howerton and Paul caution interpreting unclear passages against clear, consistent teachings on salvation by faith.
Rebaptism After Personal Faith
- If you were sprinkled as an infant and later place faith in Christ, get baptized as a believer.
- Frame it as ratifying your parents' faith rather than rejecting their intentions.
Wait For Signs Before Child Baptism
- Before baptizing a young child, look for age-appropriate signs of genuine conversion like repeated desire, remorse for sin, and love for Jesus.
- Wait for consistent evidence rather than rushing after a single bedtime prayer.
