Gospel Baptisms
Duane Bemis
Early one morning as I was eating my breakfast as I was reading my bible and I came upon a problem that plagues the modern church denominations. This problem is with biblical baptism which seems to bring God's children into confusion and division both of which are not from the Lord.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:1-6)
The revered Apostle is imploring to us to stay in unity through the idea of oneness.

God's kingdom is built in truth and the truth is this, we are to be one flock with one pastor and that pastor is to be Jesus alone. Let us lay aside denominational issues and what we have been taught and let God's Holy anointed word speak and give understanding to our hearts. Let the word of God become our standard for unders ...
