(AMEC) reference or (Probation) as exercising (Saving Faith). (Baptist) (God’s work of redemption in Christ) underlines the unity of “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” From each tradition, it is important to emphasis pastoral that Baptism is not be taken lightly or your to-do or bucket list agenda before death. Thinking this will be your ticket into heaven. Christ suffered death on the cross however before beginning his ministry he was baptized, an ordinance He set into motion for all of us to follow. Taking Baptist lightly is a big mistake new Christians enter before finding out the true reason Jesus ordained baptism in the first place. It may be interesting to first know why Jesus went to John the Baptist to be baptized in the first place.
• Jesus is an unavoidable and deeply mysterious figure. We do not know as much about Him as we would like to know. This can make it difficult to grasp what Jesus was about. People found him confusing in His own day and the same is true today. • One major reason we have trouble understanding Jesus is that His world is strange and, to many Westerners, foreign.
King John King John, known for his outrageous temper, his lechery and unstable temperament, is arguably one of, if not the worst king to ever sit on England’s throne. Born on 24th December 1166, he was the 5th child of Henry ∣∣ and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Being the youngest of the 5 children did not guarantee him an inheritance of wealth or property with the result of him being named John Lackland. He was originally destined for a career in the church to which he rebelled, eventually being educated by Ranulf de Glanvill, chief justiciar (English monarchs, 2016). In an attempt to improve his son’s prospects, Henry betrothed John to his wealthy second cousin, Isabella of Gloucester at the age of 9.

Southern Baptists believe that individuals must ask Jesus to forgive their sins and then trust Jesus in order to be saved. Roman Catholics believe that faith encompasses not only this trust but an intellectual assent to the basic doctrines of the Catholic faith. Furthermore, Roman Catholics believe that the good works that follow conversion play a role in saving the believer from sin and hell. Southern Baptists, on the other hand, believe that works are irrelevant to salvation. For Roman Catholics, salvation is a process.
Also, if you are a southern baptist then you adhere very closely to the bible. If the member is baptised that means they are baptised in that church, but if they go to another southern baptist church maybe not in that particular area then they have to get baptised in that church too. Southern baptists view all people equal under gods eyes, and believe that the man in the family is the leader of the house, and protects the family. The role of women is that they are equal but have separate
Similarly both recognize the same two sacraments however their views on each differ greatly. The Methodists believe that Baptism is for all, while the Baptists on the other hand view baptism as only being fit for confessing youth and young adults. Baptism is a witness and a testimony to the covenant, since it is naturally and properly the first Christian act of the believer after an exercise of saving faith. It certifies therefore to the acceptance of Christ, and the union and fellowship of the renewed soul with its Saviour. It becomes a badge of discipleship, and is, in that sense, a seal of the covenant of grace ( Hiscox, 1980,

If we only had one of the Gospels then we would not know anything about Jesus. You will need more than one Gospel to learn about Jesus.
