Twice in my preaching career I have presented a sermon series on the biblical view of baptism. Both times I covered the topic in four sermons.
Francis Chan says in 4 minutes, 40 seconds what I was trying to say in four sermons.
And he says it better.
Check it out here.
Chan was a keynote speaker at the Tulsa Workshop this year (2013). Several from within the Churches of Christ opposed Chan being asked to speak. Why? Because he is not “in fellowship with us.”
Hum. After listening to his presentation on how one gets “into Christ”–how one enters into fellowship with God, His Kingdom, and others who have so entered–my question to these opponents is this:
If this is not how one comes into fellowship with you–by hearing and believing the Good News, repenting of sin, confessing Jesus as Lord, and being immersed into Christ–then just how, pray tell, does one come into fellowship with you?
Just wondering.

Couldn’t agree more! My husband and I came to the same conclusion (and disagreements with others) after listening to many of his sermons. He may not see eye to eye on some doctrinal matters, but baptism and following Christ over absolutely everything else aren’t some of them. I don’t feel comfortable saying someone like that doesn’t have fellowship with us…or God.

My wife and I spent the past two days driving into work listening to Chan and the sad experience he had with the Church of Christ early on in his Christian walk. I pray we will all see that the name on the building will not cause us to blindly guide our decisions on ones walk or salvation.

I know this site provides quality based articles and
other stuff, is there any other website which
offers these kinds of things in quality?

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I
never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made
good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.
