215: Any Questions? – Who is allowed to baptize people?
Who is allowed to baptize people? In the Bible, we see many people baptized by figures who aren’t just pastors. It is widely interpreted that when Jesus gave the Great Commission, he was speaking to everyone who follows him. He told his followers to go out, make disciples, and baptize others in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. For this reason, Pastor Adam and Steph believe that anyone with the authority to evangelize also has the authority to baptize. Ideally, a person should be baptized by the person who led them to Christ or by the person who has been most formative in helping them develop that relationship. *Scripture referenced in this episode: Matthew 28:18-20
