About this episode

This episode explores the significance of baptism as stated in the Nicene Creed, focusing on forgiveness and the implications for infants being baptized.

For part 11 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this line: "We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." So we wade into the muddy waters of the River Jordan to ask: what is sin, what does it mean to be forgiven, and how does this apply when some people are literally infants when they are baptized? What does God do when we are baptized? And why is this significant that it only happens once?
