Why Reject Baptismal Regeneration and Oneness Doctrine
Why I reject two doctrines that distort salvation and the nature of God: that water baptism washes away sin, and that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one Person.
How Jesus Identified Himself: His Own Self-Descriptions
A KJV study outline of the eighteen ways Jesus Christ described Himself, from the seven I am statements in John to the first and the last in Revelation, with the Old Testament background behind each title.
Christ’s Blood, Not Baptismal Water, Washes Away Sin
Scripture says the blood of Jesus Christ washed us from our sins, cleanses from all sin, and obtained eternal redemption. It never says that of water. What Acts 22:16 and 1 Peter 3:21 actually teach, and why water baptism is obedience, not cleansing.
The Way In: Access to the Father Through the Blood of Jesus
For hundreds of years a curtain said stay out. When Jesus Christ died it tore from top to bottom. A plain language study outline of Hebrews 10:19-20 (KJV) on what opened the way to God, and why Hebrews 10:22 does not put water in its place.
Blinded Minds: Why the Gospel Is Veiled
A study outline on 2 Corinthians 4:3–4: why the gospel is veiled to those who are perishing, how the god of this world blinds unbelieving minds, and how God Himself opens a blinded heart through His Word and His Spirit.
You Shall Be My Witnesses: Acts 1:8 and Water Baptism
A study outline on Acts 1:8: the power of the Holy Spirit given so that believers would bear witness to Jesus Christ, what Pentecost and Acts 10 demonstrate, and why water baptism testifies to the Savior rather than accomplishing salvation.
What Really Saves You
Faith in Jesus Christ saves you. A short study of what Scripture actually says about believing, the blood of Christ, and where water baptism fits.
Water Baptism Is Not Where God Removes Sin and Saves a Person
If water could remove sin and secure salvation, why did God send His Son to the cross? Any teaching that transfers the saving power of Christ’s blood to baptismal water corrupts the gospel.
Sin, Forgiveness, Cleansing, and Redemption
Isaiah 44:22 and 1 John 1:9 speak plainly about sin, forgiveness, cleansing, and redemption, and neither says one word about water. God wipes away the record of guilt Himself.
The Blood of Jesus Christ Was Shed for the Forgiveness of Sins
At the Last Supper Jesus said His blood, not baptismal water, would be poured out for the forgiveness of sins. Scripture assigns cleansing and redemption to His blood alone.
