In today’s episode, I sit down with Keith Foskey to talk about baptism — what it is, why it matters, and why it is absolutely not optional for followers of Jesus.

We walk through the historic Baptist perspective found in the 1646 London Baptist Confession, a view far richer and more serious than what many modern Baptists hold today. Keith breaks down what early Baptists believed baptism actually does, why they refused to treat it as a throwaway symbol, and how Scripture ties baptism directly to obedience, discipleship, and identification with Christ and His church.

We also address the hard questions:

  • If baptism doesn’t save, what does it do?

  • Did early Baptists believe baptism had spiritual significance?

  • Why do so many churches treat baptism casually?

  • Can someone truly follow Jesus while refusing baptism?

  • What happens when churches recover a biblical, historic view of the ordinance?

This is a straightforward, Scripture-centered conversation meant to cut through modern confusion and return to what the Bible — and the early Baptists — actually taught.
