Gary L. Hutchens Baptism is a doctrine that is as clearly taught as pretty much any New Testament doctrine one can think of. If a person simply reads what the scriptures teach on the subject of baptism, he will most likely come away believing correctly. It is truly a pivotal doctrine. It is rather difficult to not understand what the Bible teaches on baptism. The scriptures are, simply put, just that clear on the subject! by Gary L. Hutchens When you talk about making a confession, at the point of a person becoming a Christian, almost invariably people think of confessing sin.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian congregation, “For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it.

For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death” (2 Cor. 7:8-10). By: Gary L. Hutchens
