What about Baptism?

1 John 5:7; John 3:22
Would you take God's Word if you would and find the gospel of Mark. We're beginning a brand new series today in the gospel of Mark) It is a very exciting gospel because it is the gospel of action.

And how did Jesus concluded his ministry? He commanded us to go into all the world and baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. He commenced and concluded his minist ...
