Tour of Truth Podcast

In this episode, we delve into the significant and sometimes controversial topic of baptism within the Christian faith. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, this discussion addresses key questions: Is baptism optional? Should it be immediate or after a class? The different methods like sprinkling versus full immersion. We explore scriptural references from Psalms, the Gospels, and epistles, and analyze Jesus' baptism, the teachings of John the Baptizer, and the significance of being born of water and the Spirit as detailed in John 3:5. With insights from respected Bible scholar Derek Prince, we emphasize the importance of baptism as an essential step in the Christian journey, likening it to a wedding garment and a sign of true discipleship. We also discuss topics such as re-baptism and infant baptism, encouraging believers to seek understanding through the Scriptures and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, we explore the crucial message of repentance as emphasized by Jesus Christ. While salvation is assured through faith in His finished work, the journey doesn't end there. The sermon highlights the need for ongoing repentance and turning away from sin to maintain a holy relationship with God. Through biblical references from Mark, Luke, and Revelation, we examine how this message is consistently communicated throughout scripture. Join us in understanding why repentance continues to be a vital aspect of our spiritual walk and how it resonates with believers today.

Exploring the significance of Jesus as the Good Shepherd with minister Terence Aponshine

There's no mincing of words in the word of God. And it tells us, "thy way, oh God, is in the sanctuary," so it's telling us there's a pattern of his way that we can learn and know from the sanctuary. Join us for an anointed message illustrating some valuable lessons the Lord has given us that help us walk in greater understanding as we journey through the tabernacle's significant and meaningful symbolism. At Mount Sinai, Moses was instructed by God to build the tabernacle. And every detail needed to be followed precisely according to the pattern that God showed Moses because this pattern was a shadowy form of something greater that God wanted to teach us.

How is it that we can't seem to model the reality of God the way the saints of old did?

John gives certain tests for how we can discover if we or other professing believers are true Christians. How do you know when you've really got true faith? He tells us about four tests that we can find in scripture.

these Corinthians, They were falling back into some of their old ways of thinking. And so Paul says, Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you, I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk to you as though you belong to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. I had to feed you with milk, not solid food, because you weren't ready for anything stronger. And. Guess what? That's my own word, but it says, And you still aren't ready, you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You're jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove that you're controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world? When one of you says, I'm a follower of Paul and another says, I follow Apollos. Aren't you just acting like people of the world? After all, who was Apollos? Who was Paul? We are only God's servants through whom you believed the good news. Each of us did the work that the Lord gave us. I planted the seed in your hearts and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. Paul is saying, essentially, don't you see that both are needed? If you're going to win people to Christ, it has to be simple and pared down to the essentials. But then, if you're going to grow in Christ, there has to be much deeper teaching. You have to go on to deeper things, and it takes the simple presentation of the gospel to plant the seed, but it takes a much deeper rational presentation of Christian truth to make a person grow and be watered. Though all the time, it's only God who enables the whole thing to grow.
