I think baptism is more of a spiritual, like symbolic one, right? Of course, if you have an actual water baptism, it is a declaration of faith, and it is an opportunity for us to preach the gospel, because at the end of the day, the gospel is what's going to save us, right? Not being dunked in water, right?

So, and that's why Paul, you know, when he wrote all the epistles, he also mentioned in Corinthians that I come not to baptize, but to preach the gospel. So I think truthfully preaching the gospel is symbolic of, you know, washing away your sins. It's the very core message of Jesus. It's the testimony of Jesus to have the blood wash away all of your sins.

Now, the water baptism is just symbolic of that. Whether that's up to the families or not, we shouldn't worry about it causing division. As long as we keep everything gospel-centric, I think it won't divide anything. So it's not like, oh, you got to do this. If we are to do those things, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9.22, to the weak I became weak so that I could save some of them.

I am all things to all men so that I can save some of them. Instead of getting into these quarrels about this is the right baptism, this isn't, if we keep it all focused on Jesus and the gospel, there is no division, right? So I think if you just focus on that, if they want to get baptized, great. If they don't, great. We don't have to argue about those things.

The gospel is the true, I would say, the spiritual baptism. Because what does the blood do? It cleanses you from your sins, just like the water.

If I believe that Jesus washed away all of my sins, that is the baptism. And it goes to Cliff's point with the thief on the cross.

Yeah. He's the true rest. Right. Sabbath day is the is the rest. Right. So what do you do on the Sabbath day? You rest in Colossians 2, 16 to 17.

When you're a dirty, evil sinner and you can't, you're defeated. You are to give all of your sins over to him, believe in him and rest.
