  • 00:00:00.824 --> 00:00:06.729

  • Again to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:00:16.873 --> 00:00:18.908
  • 2 corinthians 5:17 says that "if anyone is in christ, he is
  • 00:00:18.908 --> 00:00:24.714
  • A new creation.
  • 00:00:24.714 --> 00:00:26.049
  • Old things have passed away.
  • 00:00:26.049 --> 00:00:27.550
  • Behold, all things have become new."
  • 00:00:27.550 --> 00:00:30.153
  • And while that transformation may take place internally, the
  • 00:00:30.153 --> 00:00:34.057
  • Bible instructs us to demonstrate it externally
  • 00:00:34.057 --> 00:00:37.360
  • As well.
  • 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:38.695
  • We call that physical profession baptism.
  • 00:00:38.695 --> 00:00:42.365
  • Today i wanna share with you the model, the mode, and the meaning
  • 00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:45.902
  • Of baptism.
  • 00:00:45.902 --> 00:00:47.237
  • My message is titled, "developing a regenerate heart,"
  • 00:00:47.237 --> 00:00:51.341

  • Give a generous gift to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.851
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:01:34.851 --> 00:01:43.126
  • Jeffress: now today we are going to finish the last message
  • 00:01:43.126 --> 00:01:46.663
  • In our series, "7 marks of a disciple."
  • 00:01:46.663 --> 00:01:51.334
  • You know, we've talked about the fact that when god calls us, he
  • 00:01:51.334 --> 00:01:54.771
  • Calls us not to be converts; he calls us to be disciples, people
  • 00:01:54.771 --> 00:02:00.076
  • Who follow jesus's way in every part of their lives.
  • 00:02:00.076 --> 00:02:04.414
  • There are a lot of definitions of discipleship.
  • 00:02:04.414 --> 00:02:07.283
  • Some people say a disciple is somebody who lives my life as
  • 00:02:07.283 --> 00:02:12.455
  • Jesus would live my life if he were i.
  • 00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:15.858
  • Other people say to be a disciple
  • 00:02:15.858 --> 00:02:17.961
  • Means to love what jesus loved, think like jesus
  • 00:02:17.961 --> 00:02:22.765
  • Thought, behave like jesus would behave in every situation.
  • 00:02:22.765 --> 00:02:27.704
  • But however you define it, discipleship is about a changed
  • 00:02:27.704 --> 00:02:32.475
  • Way of living.
  • 00:02:32.475 --> 00:02:34.277
  • In fact, i said at the beginning of this series: the essence of
  • 00:02:34.277 --> 00:02:38.081
  • Discipleship is a changed life that comes from
  • 00:02:38.081 --> 00:02:43.920
  • A transformed heart.
  • 00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:46.322
  • You know, the bible says in proverbs 4:23: "watch over your
  • 00:02:46.322 --> 00:02:50.460
  • Heart with all diligence.
  • 00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:52.262
  • For out of it flows the issues of life."
  • 00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:55.665
  • Everything about us, every choice we make in life, comes
  • 00:02:55.665 --> 00:02:58.935
  • From our heart.
  • 00:02:58.935 --> 00:03:00.270
  • In the bible, the heart is not just the emotion; it's the mind,
  • 00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:03.773
  • The will, the emotion.
  • 00:03:03.773 --> 00:03:05.241
  • Every decision we make comes out of the heart and therefore, if
  • 00:03:05.241 --> 00:03:10.213
  • We want to live like jesus would have us to live, we have to
  • 00:03:10.213 --> 00:03:13.950
  • Change our heart.
  • 00:03:13.950 --> 00:03:15.285
  • We have to have a transformed heart, and that's why i say the
  • 00:03:15.285 --> 00:03:19.289
  • Essence of discipleship is a changed life that comes from
  • 00:03:19.289 --> 00:03:25.395
  • A transformed heart.
  • 00:03:25.395 --> 00:03:27.697
  • How do we transform our heart?
  • 00:03:27.697 --> 00:03:29.866
  • Listen to me, salvation is something god does for us,
  • 00:03:29.866 --> 00:03:33.069
  • We can't do for ourselves.
  • 00:03:33.069 --> 00:03:34.404
  • That is completely an act of god, "for by grace you have been
  • 00:03:34.404 --> 00:03:38.274
  • Saved through faith that not of yourselves, it is a gift of god,
  • 00:03:38.274 --> 00:03:42.078
  • Not of works lest any man should boast."
  • 00:03:42.078 --> 00:03:44.881
  • Salvation is god's work alone, but the transformation of our
  • 00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:49.152
  • Heart is a joint work between god and us after we're saved.
  • 00:03:49.152 --> 00:03:54.824
  • Without god, we cannot transform our hearts.
  • 00:03:54.824 --> 00:03:58.194
  • Without us, god will not transform our hearts.
  • 00:03:58.194 --> 00:04:01.464
  • Somebody said it this way: when it comes to transforming our
  • 00:04:01.464 --> 00:04:04.434
  • Heart, god supplies the grace.
  • 00:04:04.434 --> 00:04:07.070
  • We have to supply the grit.
  • 00:04:07.070 --> 00:04:09.272
  • It takes effort on our part and it's a partnership and over
  • 00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:12.642
  • These last weeks we've been talking about what a transformed
  • 00:04:12.642 --> 00:04:16.212
  • Or renovated heart looks like.
  • 00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:18.281
  • In fact, i've summarized it in your outline, this picture of
  • 00:04:18.281 --> 00:04:21.217
  • The heart.
  • 00:04:21.217 --> 00:04:22.552
  • Imagine different chambers of your heart.
  • 00:04:22.552 --> 00:04:24.921
  • What does it mean to have a transformed heart that will
  • 00:04:24.921 --> 00:04:28.591
  • Produce a changed life?
  • 00:04:28.591 --> 00:04:30.326
  • We talked about working to produce a praying heart.
  • 00:04:30.326 --> 00:04:33.996
  • We've got to train our heart, our lives, to pray regularly,
  • 00:04:33.996 --> 00:04:39.635
  • Trusting heart, a content heart, a serving heart, a forgiving
  • 00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:43.873
  • Heart, an obeying heart.
  • 00:04:43.873 --> 00:04:45.408
  • These are different areas of our life that have to change if
  • 00:04:45.408 --> 00:04:48.644
  • We're gonna have that changed life.
  • 00:04:48.644 --> 00:04:51.848
  • Now today i saved the first mark of a disciple for the last
  • 00:04:51.848 --> 00:04:57.387
  • Message, because the first mark of a disciple is something
  • 00:04:57.387 --> 00:05:02.892
  • Again, only god can do for us.
  • 00:05:02.892 --> 00:05:05.528
  • All of these other six chambers are renovated in a joint project
  • 00:05:05.528 --> 00:05:09.899
  • Between god and us, but the first thing god has to do for
  • 00:05:09.899 --> 00:05:13.302
  • Our heart is something he alone can do, and that is to give us
  • 00:05:13.302 --> 00:05:17.974
  • A regenerate heart.
  • 00:05:17.974 --> 00:05:20.109
  • A regenerate or regenerated heart, a heart that is
  • 00:05:20.109 --> 00:05:25.782
  • Spiritually alive.
  • 00:05:25.782 --> 00:05:27.950
  • And did you know that's what god does for you when you trust in
  • 00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:31.154
  • Christ as your savior?
  • 00:05:31.154 --> 00:05:32.822
  • He gives you a regenerate heart.
  • 00:05:32.822 --> 00:05:35.958
  • I've used this illustration before, you know, you've seen
  • 00:05:35.958 --> 00:05:39.829
  • This played out on television a dozen times where there's a
  • 00:05:39.829 --> 00:05:43.232
  • Patient in the hospital who is clinically dead, the heart stops
  • 00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:48.004
  • Beating, the buzzer goes off on the mechanisms: zzzzz.
  • 00:05:48.004 --> 00:05:53.276
  • You know, they are dead and what does the doctor do?
  • 00:05:53.276 --> 00:05:56.245
  • He yells, "get me the paddles," and they bring in these electric
  • 00:05:56.245 --> 00:06:00.249
  • Paddles and they rip open the patient's shirt and they put
  • 00:06:00.249 --> 00:06:04.053
  • Those electric paddles on the patient's chest and somebody
  • 00:06:04.053 --> 00:06:08.558
  • Yells out, "stat!
  • 00:06:08.558 --> 00:06:10.693
  • Stat!"
  • 00:06:10.693 --> 00:06:12.028
  • And that's the signal to send the juice through those paddles
  • 00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:15.865
  • And that jolt comes and that patient's heart begins to
  • 00:06:15.865 --> 00:06:19.535
  • Beat again.
  • 00:06:19.535 --> 00:06:21.037
  • They were dead, clinically dead, and they have been brought back
  • 00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:25.174
  • To life with that electrical surge.
  • 00:06:25.174 --> 00:06:28.177
  • Well, did you know that is what god does for us when he gives us
  • 00:06:28.177 --> 00:06:32.081
  • A regenerated heart?
  • 00:06:32.081 --> 00:06:34.317
  • We are born into this world spiritually dead.
  • 00:06:34.317 --> 00:06:37.620
  • We are dead men walking.
  • 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:40.289
  • We don't have a life that wants to please god.
  • 00:06:40.289 --> 00:06:43.226
  • We have no interest in god.
  • 00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:44.627
  • The bible says in romans 3, when we are born into this world,
  • 00:06:44.627 --> 00:06:48.364
  • "there is not one person righteous among us.
  • 00:06:48.364 --> 00:06:50.733
  • No, not even one, there's not even one who seeks for god."
  • 00:06:50.733 --> 00:06:54.904
  • You say, "i don't believe that.
  • 00:06:54.904 --> 00:06:56.539
  • There are a lot of non-christians who are looking
  • 00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:58.274
  • For god."
  • 00:06:58.274 --> 00:06:59.642
  • Well, they're looking for the god of their imagination.
  • 00:06:59.642 --> 00:07:02.478
  • They're looking for the god they want to be god.
  • 00:07:02.478 --> 00:07:04.847
  • They're not looking for the real god.
  • 00:07:04.847 --> 00:07:06.983
  • The bible says nobody seeks god on his own.
  • 00:07:06.983 --> 00:07:10.419
  • We have to have a regenerated heart.
  • 00:07:10.419 --> 00:07:13.656
  • We have to have a heart that comes to life to even want to
  • 00:07:13.656 --> 00:07:16.392
  • Know god.
  • 00:07:16.392 --> 00:07:17.760
  • Look at ephesians chapter 2, what the apostle paul says about
  • 00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:22.265
  • How we are transformed from death unto life.
  • 00:07:22.265 --> 00:07:27.136
  • Paul writes: "and you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in
  • 00:07:27.136 --> 00:07:32.108
  • Which you formerly walked according to the course of the
  • 00:07:32.108 --> 00:07:34.877
  • World, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the
  • 00:07:34.877 --> 00:07:38.014
  • Spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
  • 00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:41.851
  • Among them we too formerly lived in the lust of the flesh,
  • 00:07:41.851 --> 00:07:46.088
  • Indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and we
  • 00:07:46.088 --> 00:07:50.092
  • Were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest."
  • 00:07:50.092 --> 00:07:53.596
  • Have you ever heard people say, "oh, we're all children of god.
  • 00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:57.567
  • All of us are children of god.
  • 00:07:57.567 --> 00:07:59.435
  • Everybody on this planet is a child of god."
  • 00:07:59.435 --> 00:08:01.904
  • No, we're not.
  • 00:08:01.904 --> 00:08:03.272
  • We're born into this world, not children of god, but children of
  • 00:08:03.272 --> 00:08:06.842
  • Wrath, children of the devil.
  • 00:08:06.842 --> 00:08:09.679
  • We are born not friends of god, but enemies of god.
  • 00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:13.683
  • We were born, we were children of wrath, even as the rest,
  • 00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:17.587
  • Verse 4, "but god," but god.
  • 00:08:17.587 --> 00:08:23.726
  • "but god, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with
  • 00:08:23.726 --> 00:08:28.864
  • Which he loved us, even when we were dead in our
  • 00:08:28.864 --> 00:08:32.668
  • Transgressions," he got the electric paddles out, "and he
  • 00:08:32.668 --> 00:08:36.439
  • Made us alive together."
  • 00:08:36.439 --> 00:08:38.474
  • That's what he's talking about.
  • 00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:39.875
  • God reached down and he took that which was spiritually dead
  • 00:08:39.875 --> 00:08:44.113
  • And made it spiritually alive with christ, "(for by grace you
  • 00:08:44.113 --> 00:08:48.751
  • Have been saved), and he raised us up with him, and he seated us
  • 00:08:48.751 --> 00:08:52.421
  • With him in the heavenly places, in christ jesus."
  • 00:08:52.421 --> 00:08:55.658
  • That's what regeneration is.
  • 00:08:55.658 --> 00:08:58.628
  • God taking a heart that is spiritually dead and making it
  • 00:08:58.628 --> 00:09:02.798
  • Spiritually alive.
  • 00:09:02.798 --> 00:09:04.200
  • And that's why i say the very first mark of a disciple is
  • 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:09.672
  • A regenerated heart, a heart that is alive for god.
  • 00:09:09.672 --> 00:09:13.843
  • That is something that god does for us.
  • 00:09:13.843 --> 00:09:16.912
  • Now, the bible says to show, to demonstrate to others, that
  • 00:09:16.912 --> 00:09:22.618
  • We've had that experience, that we are new creations in christ,
  • 00:09:22.618 --> 00:09:27.223
  • That we have received the holy spirit of god into our lives who
  • 00:09:27.223 --> 00:09:31.327
  • Not only jolts us to spiritual life, but he is a continuing
  • 00:09:31.327 --> 00:09:35.698
  • Presence in our life, who leads us into a whole new way
  • 00:09:35.698 --> 00:09:38.701
  • Of living.
  • 00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:40.036
  • To symbolize that, we go through a ritual, an ordinance,
  • 00:09:40.036 --> 00:09:44.607
  • Called baptism.
  • 00:09:44.607 --> 00:09:47.309
  • Baptism is a physical sign of a spiritual truth that we have
  • 00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:52.415
  • Been immersed, covered with the holy spirit of god.
  • 00:09:52.415 --> 00:09:56.085
  • We have become spiritually alive and we have been raised to
  • 00:09:56.085 --> 00:09:59.989
  • A whole new way of living.
  • 00:09:59.989 --> 00:10:02.258
  • And that's why in matthew 28, verses 19 and 20, the great
  • 00:10:02.258 --> 00:10:05.895
  • Commission, jesus said, "go therefore into all the world and
  • 00:10:05.895 --> 00:10:09.165
  • Make," what?
  • 00:10:09.165 --> 00:10:10.833
  • "disciples," and how do you do that?
  • 00:10:10.833 --> 00:10:13.869
  • Doing what?
  • 00:10:13.869 --> 00:10:15.337
  • "baptizing them in the name of the father, son, and the
  • 00:10:15.337 --> 00:10:19.442
  • Holy spirit."
  • 00:10:19.442 --> 00:10:21.010
  • Baptism is a physical symbol of a spiritual reality that the
  • 00:10:21.010 --> 00:10:27.083
  • Holy spirit indwells my life.
  • 00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:29.051
  • I have a regenerate heart and i'm living a whole new way
  • 00:10:29.051 --> 00:10:33.055
  • Of life.
  • 00:10:33.055 --> 00:10:34.423
  • Now one of the things i have been so pleased about in our
  • 00:10:34.423 --> 00:10:37.626
  • Church over these years has been the people from all kind of
  • 00:10:37.626 --> 00:10:41.230
  • Denominations coming into our church: catholics,
  • 00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:44.500
  • Presbyterians, lutherans, methodists, episcopalians,
  • 00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:48.471
  • Assembly of god.
  • 00:10:48.471 --> 00:10:50.206
  • And i'm so glad that this church is not defined by denomination.
  • 00:10:50.206 --> 00:10:54.043
  • You've heard me say a million times, i couldn't care less what
  • 00:10:54.043 --> 00:10:56.712
  • Baptists believe about anything.
  • 00:10:56.712 --> 00:10:58.948
  • What i want to know is what does the bible say?
  • 00:10:58.948 --> 00:11:01.617
  • This is a church for 150 years that has been founded on the
  • 00:11:01.617 --> 00:11:05.621
  • Bible, which is why god blesses this church.
  • 00:11:05.621 --> 00:11:10.226
  • So what i'm gonna ask you to do this morning, since being
  • 00:11:10.226 --> 00:11:13.763
  • Baptized as a sign of our regeneration is the first mark
  • 00:11:13.763 --> 00:11:17.967
  • Of a disciple, i want you to put aside everything you've ever
  • 00:11:17.967 --> 00:11:21.871
  • Heard or believed about baptism.
  • 00:11:21.871 --> 00:11:24.206
  • Everything you've heard, whatever denomination you've
  • 00:11:24.206 --> 00:11:27.276
  • Been a part of, including the baptist church, forget what
  • 00:11:27.276 --> 00:11:30.679
  • Pastor so-and-so said.
  • 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.581
  • Forget what father so-and-so said.
  • 00:11:32.581 --> 00:11:34.950
  • Forget what the catechism taught you, and what i want us to do
  • 00:11:34.950 --> 00:11:38.454
  • This morning is see what the bible says about baptism.
  • 00:11:38.454 --> 00:11:43.092
  • What does the bible say i'm supposed to do if i've had this
  • 00:11:43.092 --> 00:11:47.596
  • Regenerate heart, and we're gonna do three things in the few
  • 00:11:47.596 --> 00:11:50.733
  • Minutes we have today.
  • 00:11:50.733 --> 00:11:52.134
  • We're going to talk about the model of baptism.
  • 00:11:52.134 --> 00:11:55.304
  • Secondly, we're going to talk about the mode of baptism, and
  • 00:11:55.304 --> 00:11:59.208
  • Finally we're going to look at the meaning of baptism, and i
  • 00:11:59.208 --> 00:12:02.378
  • Encourage you who are watching this broadcast or on icampus to
  • 00:12:02.378 --> 00:12:06.549
  • Follow along with us here in this church.
  • 00:12:06.549 --> 00:12:10.019
  • First of all, the model of baptism.
  • 00:12:10.019 --> 00:12:13.055
  • There is a pattern that is never contradicted in the scripture,
  • 00:12:13.055 --> 00:12:16.192
  • And it is simply this: people always believe before
  • 00:12:16.192 --> 00:12:21.030
  • Their baptism.
  • 00:12:21.030 --> 00:12:22.765
  • Belief always precedes baptism.
  • 00:12:22.765 --> 00:12:26.468
  • There is never a case in the bible where you have somebody
  • 00:12:26.468 --> 00:12:29.638
  • Who is baptized or sprinkled first, and then they later came
  • 00:12:29.638 --> 00:12:34.810
  • To a personal faith in christ.
  • 00:12:34.810 --> 00:12:36.445
  • Never happened once in the bible.
  • 00:12:36.445 --> 00:12:38.480
  • It's always the pattern, believe and then you're baptized.
  • 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:43.085
  • Believe and then you're baptized.
  • 00:12:43.085 --> 00:12:44.486
  • You see that, for example, in acts 8, the story of philip and
  • 00:12:44.486 --> 00:12:48.490
  • The ethiopian eunuch.
  • 00:12:48.490 --> 00:12:49.825
  • Look at acts 8 beginning with verse 26: "but an angel of the
  • 00:12:49.825 --> 00:12:54.430
  • Lord spoke to philip saying, 'arise and go south to the road
  • 00:12:54.430 --> 00:12:58.500
  • That descends from jerusalem to gaza.'
  • 00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:01.770
  • And philip arose and he went; and behold, there was an
  • 00:13:01.770 --> 00:13:04.273
  • Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of candace, queen of
  • 00:13:04.273 --> 00:13:07.543
  • The ethiopians, who was in charge of all of her treasure;
  • 00:13:07.543 --> 00:13:10.579
  • And he had come to jerusalem to worship."
  • 00:13:10.579 --> 00:13:14.116
  • Here is somebody who doesn't know much about the scripture,
  • 00:13:14.116 --> 00:13:19.255
  • But he wants to know god, so he comes to jerusalem to worship.
  • 00:13:19.255 --> 00:13:23.325
  • "and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and he
  • 00:13:23.325 --> 00:13:26.829
  • Was reading the prophet isaiah.
  • 00:13:26.829 --> 00:13:29.331
  • And the spirit meanwhile said to philip, 'go up and join
  • 00:13:29.331 --> 00:13:32.534
  • This chariot.'
  • 00:13:32.534 --> 00:13:33.869
  • And when philip had run up, he heard the eunuch reading isaiah
  • 00:13:33.869 --> 00:13:38.374
  • The prophet, and he said to him, 'do you understand what you
  • 00:13:38.374 --> 00:13:41.810
  • Are reading?'"
  • 00:13:41.810 --> 00:13:43.145
  • And the eunuch said, "i don't have a clue."
  • 00:13:43.145 --> 00:13:44.980
  • Well, that's basically what he said.
  • 00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:46.515
  • "he said," verse 20--31, "'how could i understand this unless
  • 00:13:46.515 --> 00:13:51.487
  • Somebody guides me?'
  • 00:13:51.487 --> 00:13:53.055
  • And so he invited philip to come up and sit with him."
  • 00:13:53.055 --> 00:13:56.659
  • Now the passage that the eunuch was reading was this.
  • 00:13:56.659 --> 00:14:00.296
  • It's a quotation from isaiah the prophet talking about
  • 00:14:00.296 --> 00:14:03.832
  • The messiah.
  • 00:14:03.832 --> 00:14:05.200
  • "'and he was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb
  • 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.270
  • Before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
  • 00:14:08.270 --> 00:14:12.107
  • In humiliation, his judgment was taken away.
  • 00:14:12.107 --> 00:14:15.177
  • Who shall relate his generation?
  • 00:14:15.177 --> 00:14:17.479
  • For his life is removed from the earth.'
  • 00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:19.848
  • And the eunuch answered philip and said, 'please tell me,
  • 00:14:19.848 --> 00:14:23.852
  • Of whom does the prophet say this?
  • 00:14:23.852 --> 00:14:26.055
  • Is he speaking of himself, or someone else?'
  • 00:14:26.055 --> 00:14:30.025
  • And philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this scripture he
  • 00:14:30.025 --> 00:14:34.964
  • Preached jesus to him."
  • 00:14:34.964 --> 00:14:38.667
  • Isn't that interesting?
  • 00:14:38.667 --> 00:14:40.602
  • Here is a man, a eunuch, who wants to know god.
  • 00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:44.640
  • He's sincere in wanting to know god.
  • 00:14:44.640 --> 00:14:47.343
  • He comes to jerusalem to worship god.
  • 00:14:47.343 --> 00:14:52.081
  • But that's not enough.
  • 00:14:52.081 --> 00:14:54.383
  • You know, in most people, even evangelical thinking today, that
  • 00:14:54.383 --> 00:14:57.386
  • Would be enough for somebody to go to heaven.
  • 00:14:57.386 --> 00:14:59.788
  • They love god, they wanna worship god, even if they
  • 00:14:59.788 --> 00:15:02.358
  • Haven't heard of jesus, they can get to heaven, right?
  • 00:15:02.358 --> 00:15:05.260
  • Wrong.
  • 00:15:05.260 --> 00:15:06.662
  • "no man comes to the father except through the son."
  • 00:15:06.662 --> 00:15:09.898
  • No man comes to god without knowing god's son.
  • 00:15:09.898 --> 00:15:13.335
  • You can't be right with god and wrong about jesus.
  • 00:15:13.335 --> 00:15:16.505
  • You have to have a personal relationship with christ.
  • 00:15:16.505 --> 00:15:19.274
  • Now notice what happened.
  • 00:15:19.274 --> 00:15:20.676
  • God looks down, he sees somebody who wants to know him, and he
  • 00:15:20.676 --> 00:15:24.880
  • Supernaturally arranges for philip to be there to preach to
  • 00:15:24.880 --> 00:15:29.318
  • Him jesus.
  • 00:15:29.318 --> 00:15:31.520
  • And i see that all the time.
  • 00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:34.123
  • Today we get letters every day of the week from all over
  • 00:15:34.123 --> 00:15:37.826
  • The world.
  • 00:15:37.826 --> 00:15:39.194
  • People are saying, "i heard your broadcast on this station or on
  • 00:15:39.194 --> 00:15:43.465
  • This internet or on this television station," all over
  • 00:15:43.465 --> 00:15:47.569
  • The world, they hear the name of jesus coming from this church.
  • 00:15:47.569 --> 00:15:52.574
  • God is gonna make sure if somebody wants to know about
  • 00:15:52.574 --> 00:15:55.444
  • Jesus, that person hears about jesus.
  • 00:15:55.444 --> 00:15:58.447
  • We are the means that god uses to spread that word about jesus.
  • 00:15:58.447 --> 00:16:02.184
  • That's why i'm so grateful for a church like this that has
  • 00:16:02.184 --> 00:16:05.387
  • A worldwide vision for being that instrument god uses to
  • 00:16:05.387 --> 00:16:09.725
  • Point people not just to one way to heaven, but the only way
  • 00:16:09.725 --> 00:16:12.628
  • To heaven.
  • 00:16:12.628 --> 00:16:13.996
  • That's what happened to the eunuch here.
  • 00:16:13.996 --> 00:16:15.531
  • He wanted to know jesus, so philip preached jesus to him.
  • 00:16:15.531 --> 00:16:18.834
  • Look at verse 36: "and as they went along the road they came to
  • 00:16:18.834 --> 00:16:22.304
  • Some water; and the eunuch said, 'look!
  • 00:16:22.304 --> 00:16:25.007
  • Water!
  • 00:16:25.007 --> 00:16:26.341
  • What prevents me from being baptized?'"
  • 00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:29.778
  • Isn't that interesting that the first thing he wanted to do
  • 00:16:29.778 --> 00:16:32.815
  • After he knew jesus was to be baptized?
  • 00:16:32.815 --> 00:16:35.984
  • "[and philip said, 'if you believe with all of your heart,
  • 00:16:35.984 --> 00:16:40.155
  • You may.'
  • 00:16:40.155 --> 00:16:41.523
  • And he said, 'i believe that jesus christ is the son
  • 00:16:41.523 --> 00:16:45.127
  • Of god.']"
  • 00:16:45.127 --> 00:16:46.495
  • And as we'll see in just a moment, he then went down into
  • 00:16:46.495 --> 00:16:48.764
  • The water and came up out of the water.
  • 00:16:48.764 --> 00:16:50.766
  • What i want you to see though, here, is the pattern.
  • 00:16:50.766 --> 00:16:53.502
  • He believed first and then he was baptized.
  • 00:16:53.502 --> 00:16:58.540
  • Believe and be baptized.
  • 00:16:58.540 --> 00:17:00.042
  • Same thing you see in acts chapter 2.
  • 00:17:00.042 --> 00:17:02.211
  • Remember peter's sermon
  • 00:17:02.211 --> 00:17:03.545
  • On the southern steps in the temple in jerusalem,
  • 00:17:03.545 --> 00:17:07.316
  • The sermon we call the sermon at pentecost?
  • 00:17:07.316 --> 00:17:09.852
  • Remember how he preached that message to jews who had come
  • 00:17:09.852 --> 00:17:12.721
  • From all over israel to worship?
  • 00:17:12.721 --> 00:17:14.690
  • And when they heard the message, the bible says they were cut,
  • 00:17:14.690 --> 00:17:18.794
  • Their heart was cut to the core, and they cried out to peter,
  • 00:17:18.794 --> 00:17:22.598
  • "what shall we do?
  • 00:17:22.598 --> 00:17:24.466
  • Peter, what are we supposed to do in response to this message?"
  • 00:17:24.466 --> 00:17:27.903
  • Acts 2:38: "and peter said to them, 'repent, and let each of
  • 00:17:27.903 --> 00:17:32.808
  • You be baptized in the name of jesus christ for the forgiveness
  • 00:17:32.808 --> 00:17:36.812
  • Of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the
  • 00:17:36.812 --> 00:17:40.349
  • Holy spirit.'"
  • 00:17:40.349 --> 00:17:41.717
  • And those who received the word were baptized.
  • 00:17:41.717 --> 00:17:44.419
  • Verse 41: "so then, those who had received this word were
  • 00:17:44.419 --> 00:17:47.789
  • Baptized; and there were added that day about three
  • 00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:50.225
  • Thousand souls."
  • 00:17:50.225 --> 00:17:52.427
  • You know, people get hung up on that verse and say, "oh, then
  • 00:17:52.427 --> 00:17:56.331
  • That must be teaching you have to be baptized in order to
  • 00:17:56.331 --> 00:18:00.869
  • Be saved.
  • 00:18:00.869 --> 00:18:02.204
  • Water baptism plays some part in your salvation."
  • 00:18:02.204 --> 00:18:06.408
  • Not at all.
  • 00:18:06.408 --> 00:18:07.776
  • That's not what peter is saying.
  • 00:18:07.776 --> 00:18:09.945
  • If water baptism can wash away your sins or plays any role in
  • 00:18:09.945 --> 00:18:14.383
  • Your salvation, then the apostle paul made a colossal mistake.
  • 00:18:14.383 --> 00:18:19.354
  • Because in acts 16:30-31, when the philippian jailer
  • 00:18:19.354 --> 00:18:23.458
  • Said to paul, "what must i do to be saved?"
  • 00:18:23.458 --> 00:18:26.628
  • You know what paul said?
  • 00:18:26.628 --> 00:18:28.030
  • "believe on the lord jesus christ, and thou
  • 00:18:28.030 --> 00:18:30.899
  • Shalt be saved."
  • 00:18:30.899 --> 00:18:32.267
  • He didn't say believe and be baptized and keep the
  • 00:18:32.267 --> 00:18:34.603
  • Ten commandments and join the church.
  • 00:18:34.603 --> 00:18:36.271
  • "believe on the lord jesus christ and thou
  • 00:18:36.271 --> 00:18:38.106
  • Shall be saved."
  • 00:18:38.106 --> 00:18:39.908
  • And we'll see later, then the philippian jailer was saved as
  • 00:18:39.908 --> 00:18:43.178
  • A sign, not a prerequisite for baptism.
  • 00:18:43.178 --> 00:18:46.215
  • Why did peter say, "repent and be baptized in the name of jesus
  • 00:18:46.215 --> 00:18:50.219
  • Christ for the forgiveness of your sins?"
  • 00:18:50.219 --> 00:18:53.021
  • Because he was answering the question.
  • 00:18:53.021 --> 00:18:55.824
  • The people wanted to know, "peter, what does god want us
  • 00:18:55.824 --> 00:18:59.461
  • To do?"
  • 00:18:59.461 --> 00:19:00.829
  • And peter answered correctly: "he wants you to repent, to
  • 00:19:00.829 --> 00:19:03.765
  • Believe, and be baptized."
  • 00:19:03.765 --> 00:19:06.435
  • That's god's plan for every follower of christ: to
  • 00:19:06.435 --> 00:19:09.938
  • Be baptized.
  • 00:19:09.938 --> 00:19:11.373
  • If he had just answered the question, all god wants of you
  • 00:19:11.373 --> 00:19:14.343
  • Is to believe, then he would have been wrong because god
  • 00:19:14.343 --> 00:19:17.179
  • Wants every follower to believe and be baptized.
  • 00:19:17.179 --> 00:19:21.183
  • Now listen to this and never forget it.
  • 00:19:21.183 --> 00:19:23.452
  • You can be saved without being baptized.
  • 00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:26.855
  • You cannot be a disciple without being baptized.
  • 00:19:26.855 --> 00:19:31.093
  • You can be saved without being baptized, but you can never be
  • 00:19:31.093 --> 00:19:35.030
  • A disciple without being baptized.
  • 00:19:35.030 --> 00:19:37.633
  • That is god's plan.
  • 00:19:37.633 --> 00:19:39.101
  • Believe and be baptized.
  • 00:19:39.101 --> 00:19:40.669
  • Acts 9:18, after paul was saved, notice what happened.
  • 00:19:40.669 --> 00:19:44.539
  • "and immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales.
  • 00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:47.943
  • He regained his sight, he arose and he was baptized."
  • 00:19:47.943 --> 00:19:52.547
  • Or acts chapter 10: cornelius, the roman centurion, after he
  • 00:19:52.547 --> 00:19:56.852
  • Believed, look at verse 47 of acts 10: "'surely no one can
  • 00:19:56.852 --> 00:20:00.022
  • Refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the
  • 00:20:00.022 --> 00:20:03.859
  • Holy spirit just as we did, can he?'
  • 00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:05.961
  • And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of the lord
  • 00:20:05.961 --> 00:20:08.964
  • Jesus christ.
  • 00:20:08.964 --> 00:20:10.332
  • Acts 16:15, we don't have time to look at it, but lydia, the
  • 00:20:10.332 --> 00:20:15.070
  • Businesswoman in philippi, when she was saved, she was baptized.
  • 00:20:15.070 --> 00:20:20.075
  • And then in acts 16, i talked about the philippian jailer.
  • 00:20:20.075 --> 00:20:23.478
  • "what shall i do to be saved, paul?"
  • 00:20:23.478 --> 00:20:25.280
  • "believe on the lord jesus christ, and you will be saved."
  • 00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:28.250
  • Look at verse 33: "and he took them that very hour of the
  • 00:20:28.250 --> 00:20:32.287
  • Night," that is the jailer, "and washed their wounds, and
  • 00:20:32.287 --> 00:20:36.458
  • Immediately the jailer was baptized, he and his household."
  • 00:20:36.458 --> 00:20:42.264
  • Notice that word "immediately."
  • 00:20:42.264 --> 00:20:44.933
  • As soon as the jailer believed, he was baptized.
  • 00:20:44.933 --> 00:20:48.270
  • He didn't enroll in a 6-month course to learn what
  • 00:20:48.270 --> 00:20:51.239
  • Baptism meant.
  • 00:20:51.239 --> 00:20:52.607
  • He didn't wait for 2 years to see if it was real or not.
  • 00:20:52.607 --> 00:20:55.744
  • The bible says the moment you are saved is when you ought to
  • 00:20:55.744 --> 00:20:59.114
  • Be baptized.
  • 00:20:59.114 --> 00:21:00.482
  • Believe and be baptized, that is god's command.
  • 00:21:00.482 --> 00:21:05.387
  • Matthew 28, verse 19, the bible says: "go therefore and make
  • 00:21:05.387 --> 00:21:10.425
  • Disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
  • 00:21:10.425 --> 00:21:14.463
  • The father and son and the holy spirit."
  • 00:21:14.463 --> 00:21:17.499
  • What is the model of baptism?
  • 00:21:17.499 --> 00:21:19.568
  • Belief followed by baptism.
  • 00:21:19.568 --> 00:21:22.771
  • Now you know, when i am talking to people about baptism,
  • 00:21:22.771 --> 00:21:27.576
  • Especially if i am talking to a child, i often use the
  • 00:21:27.576 --> 00:21:33.582
  • Illustration of a wedding ring.
  • 00:21:33.582 --> 00:21:35.650
  • This is 40 years stuck on this ring here.
  • 00:21:35.650 --> 00:21:40.455
  • Let's see if i can get it off.
  • 00:21:40.455 --> 00:21:41.823
  • Anybody have any butter?
  • 00:21:41.823 --> 00:21:46.595
  • You know, it came off.
  • 00:21:46.595 --> 00:21:48.563
  • Is this ring getting smaller or is my finger getting fatter?
  • 00:21:48.563 --> 00:21:53.135
  • Here we go.
  • 00:21:53.135 --> 00:21:54.569
  • You know, when i'm talking to children, i always talk about
  • 00:21:54.569 --> 00:21:57.506
  • This ring and i'll say, what does this ring mean?
  • 00:21:57.506 --> 00:22:00.208
  • Do you know what this ring means?
  • 00:22:00.208 --> 00:22:01.743
  • And they say, "oh, it means you're married."
  • 00:22:01.743 --> 00:22:04.045
  • I say, "that's right.
  • 00:22:04.045 --> 00:22:05.514
  • This ring is a sign that i belong to somebody else."
  • 00:22:05.514 --> 00:22:09.284
  • When people look and they see this ring on my finger, they
  • 00:22:09.284 --> 00:22:12.921
  • Say, "well, dr. jeffress belongs to somebody.
  • 00:22:12.921 --> 00:22:15.924
  • He's married."
  • 00:22:15.924 --> 00:22:17.392
  • And i say, "now could i be married without this ring?"
  • 00:22:17.392 --> 00:22:20.896
  • Of course i could.
  • 00:22:20.896 --> 00:22:22.464
  • It's not the ring that makes me married.
  • 00:22:22.464 --> 00:22:24.966
  • It's the commitment that i've made in my heart to my wife.
  • 00:22:24.966 --> 00:22:29.037
  • This ring is a symbol.
  • 00:22:29.037 --> 00:22:30.405
  • I could be married without it.
  • 00:22:30.405 --> 00:22:32.374
  • In fact, i'm grateful i could because i've lost this ring
  • 00:22:32.374 --> 00:22:35.277
  • Three times.
  • 00:22:35.277 --> 00:22:36.611
  • This is number four, i think, of my wedding rings and so forth.
  • 00:22:36.611 --> 00:22:40.248
  • The ring is a symbol.
  • 00:22:40.248 --> 00:22:41.716
  • It's a sign of a commitment i've made in my life.
  • 00:22:41.716 --> 00:22:45.287
  • And then i'll take the ring and i'll ask the child to put their
  • 00:22:45.287 --> 00:22:48.223
  • Finger out and i'll put this ring on them and i'll say, "now,
  • 00:22:48.223 --> 00:22:52.694
  • Does this ring on your finger mean you're married?"
  • 00:22:52.694 --> 00:22:55.630
  • And they'll giggle and they'll say, "oh no, no, no, no,
  • 00:22:55.630 --> 00:22:59.000
  • No, no."
  • 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:00.368
  • I say, "right, this ring doesn't mean anything if you haven't
  • 00:23:00.368 --> 00:23:03.605
  • Made a commitment in your heart to another person.
  • 00:23:03.605 --> 00:23:06.875
  • That's the same way with baptism."
  • 00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:09.778
  • Jeffress: baptism is an outward symbol of
  • 00:23:13.682 --> 00:23:16.117
  • An inward transformation.
  • 00:23:16.117 --> 00:23:17.853
  • And i'll be teaching more on this topic when we gather again
  • 00:23:17.853 --> 00:23:20.822
  • Next time.
  • 00:23:20.822 --> 00:23:22.190
  • Well, changing lives is what "pathway to victory" is
  • 00:23:22.190 --> 00:23:24.626
  • All about.
  • 00:23:24.626 --> 00:23:25.961
  • Yes, we teach the bible, but the genuine results follow the
  • 00:23:25.961 --> 00:23:30.131
  • Educational process as god's spirit regenerates the heart.
  • 00:23:30.131 --> 00:23:34.536
  • For example, i heard from jonny who wrote: "i listen to 'pathway
  • 00:23:34.536 --> 00:23:38.306
  • To victory' in maryland, and your teaching has touched me in
  • 00:23:38.306 --> 00:23:41.510
  • A way i didn't expect.
  • 00:23:41.510 --> 00:23:43.512
  • I've been living in a pretty bad way and i just knew i needed
  • 00:23:43.512 --> 00:23:47.215
  • To change.
  • 00:23:47.215 --> 00:23:48.550
  • Listening to your sermon today caused me to rededicate my life
  • 00:23:48.550 --> 00:23:52.320
  • To christ."
  • 00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:53.688
  • What a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
  • 00:23:53.688 --> 00:23:57.559
  • Jonny's transformation represents countless others who
  • 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.530
  • Discover new life in christ through this ministry, and
