Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Co 1:14) “I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;… (16) …the household of Stephanas:… (17) For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.”   The gift of Everlasting Life is not a physical work, brought on by physical means (water baptism). It is a spiritual work of life being given first to the spirit of man (called regeneration) with the promise of a resurrection of our physical bodies. The word “baptize” meaning to immerse, is used for spiritually being put “in Christ”, immersed by the Holy Spirit (Romans 6).
