Baptism and the Laying on of Hands
Barney Rehm - November 30, 2024
Baptism and the laying on of hands are vital doctrines illustrated by the history of the Anabaptists, who suffered persecution for insisting that baptism belongs only to those who personally repent and believe. Scripture confirms that genuine baptism follows repentance and faith and is accompanied by the laying on of hands for the receiving of the Holy Spirit. Believers today are called to uphold this biblical standard, recognizing baptism as a public identification with Christ’s death and resurrection and the gateway into a Spirit-led life of obedience.
