Instructions about Baptisms
This
study explores the ‘instruction about baptisms’ that the writer refers to in
Hebrews 6.
It covers a brief introduction to the
prevailing views on baptism, but focuses on the John’s baptism, Christian baptism
and Holy Spirit baptism.
The
distinction between the two water baptisms is essential to our acceptance of
the deep salvation truths that
Christian baptism conveys.
For this reason, a refusal to be water
baptised is tantamount to a denial of the faith.
Similarly, it is not to be entered into as a
ritual performance.
