Thank you David for all of your teachings, I am being baptized 17th sept (2023!)... To my shame I once considered myself a white witch, I repent my sins!... Your bible studies have helped me to understand and seek our lord more and more... The holy spirit is working beautifully within you... This 49 year old English lady is eternally grateful for your infectious love of the gospel...
Excellent biblical teaching on baptism. God bless you dear Pastor Brother David. May God richly bless you and your ministry. Hallelujah Amen.
Thank you for your kind words and support! Blessings in His name!
Water baptism was fulfilled by Yahshua and now we are to be immersed in the name of the father the son and Holy Spirit which are Yahweh Elohim and Yahshua and yes I’m sure many continued to perform water baptism after the ascension of Yahshua through not understanding his mission to fulfill the 613 laws statutes and ordinances 😊❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
@Johhny-gg4hu, you said, "Water baptism was fulfilled by Jesus." How about a BCV.
Jesus said he came to fulfill (Mt.5:17).
Speaking to his apostles said "These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem" (Lk.24:44-47).
Christ did his part fulfilling everything he came to do, but notice in (vs.47) the conjunction "and" "and that repentance and remission of sins shall be preached in his name among all nations beginning in Jerusalem."
This part of the prophecy (repentance and remission of sins >preached
See Vol 3 of Ante-Nicene Fathers: "Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away the sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life!" This is the start of a major treatise on baptism by Tertullian.
Through faith alone, I just can’t understand how anything but faith alone gets us into heaven
it never says "faith alone", the word alone was added to the Scripture.
Jesus, in the gospels tell us that at least 4 things are required for eternal life and faith is one of them. Do you know what the other 3 are? Jesus ties our salvation to these.
What happened after the New Testament? The answer is that the Apostles developed the FIRST church doctrine called "THE DIDACHE."
and chapter 7 regarding baptism states this:
"Concerning baptism, baptise thus: Having first rehearsed all these things, "baptise, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," in running water; but if thou hast no running water, baptise in other water, and if thou canst not in cold, then in warm. But if thou hast neither, pour water three times on the head "in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." And before the baptism let the baptiser and him who is to be baptised fast, and any others who are able. And thou shalt bid him who is to be baptised to fast one or two days before.
This is the TRUE doctrine since the time of Apostles whom Jesus gave authority.
1 LORD 1 FAITH 1 BAPTISM = not 2 - your thoughts... Thank you 🕯 🙏 🕊
I agree with immersion & repentence (change of direction) of SINS...
Also do you Believe in Baptism in Yeshua Messiah's Name as in Acts 2:38 ...
@@AMELIA10041has to be in the name of the father son and holy Spirit
Man i didnt know there was all these different baptism beliefs. I thought it was just an outward expression of what happened to me on the inside. And treat it as a commandment because Jesus told us too?
Water Baptism regenerates us
I want to show God that I love him by following his commandments. I'm actually getting baptized tomorrow, and everything you said about baptism is exactly how I interpreted it.
What is your interpretation of the true sabbath? From how i read the bible, the true sabbath is clearly Friday sunset, to saturday sunset, yet most follow the Roman catholic church rule of Sunday, such i believe to be completely wrong. The original christians celebrated on Friday and saturday, history books prove this.
Pastor David you did a great job explaining baptism and what it represents. I was hoping to copy & paste some of the info from the transcript but just incase you’re unaware it’s in Chinese. 🙄
9:10 David, you're too smart to have just affirmed a non essential COMMAND... it was commanded...but non-essential?
@@robbyeversole7682 Robby, if baptism was mandatory for salvation, then the thief on the cross would never have been "that day", with Jesus in Paradise.
@DavidGuzikEnduringWord
Some people argue that because the thief on the cross was saved without baptism that means we are saved without baptism today (Luke 23:42-43).
Obviously, the thief wasn’t taken down from the cross and baptized at that moment, but how do you know he wasn’t baptized prior to his crucifixion?
Many people were baptized by John for the remission of sins (Mark 1:4-5), and Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John (John 4:1-3). This thief could have been one of them.
Also, this thief seems to have known about the identity and mission of Jesus. “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom” (Luke 23:42).
Now, I have no way of proving that he was baptized prior to this event, but no one can prove that he wasn’t. Regardless, it was after this event that Jesus took nail pierced hands and pointed them to a world of sin and said "He that believes and is baptized will be saved."
It was after the resurrection that Jesus Commanded (your words) baptism.
Now, where do you get authority to set aside His command and promise people eternity otherwise?
Revelation 22:14" Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."
Who has right to the tree of life? Those that do His commandments...and you have to do them and for the reason He said to do them...
@@robbyeversole7682
Hi Robby,
I am not minimizing baptism, but we are saved by faith alone.
If baptism is mandatory for salvation, and there are no exceptions, let me ask you this...
If someone in a burning building repents and gives their life to Jesus's and then is burned alive. Does God reject them because they were not baptized?

1. Christ’s words (John 6:63).
2. The Holy Spirit (John 16:8; Titus 3:5).
3. Faith (Romans 10:10).
4. Repentance (Luke 13:3; 2 Peter 3:9).
5. Baptism (Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21; Titus 3:5).
6. God (John 3:16; Titus 2:11).
7. Christ’s works (John 20:30-31).
8. Calling on His name (Acts 2:21).
9. Christ’s name (Acts 4:12).
10. Christ’s resurrection (Romans 4:25).
11. Christ’s death (Romans 5:6).
12. Hope (Romans 8:24).
13. Confession of faith (Romans 10:10).
14. Hearing (Romans 10:15-17).
15. Preaching (1 Corinthians 1:18).
16. Fire (1 Corinthians 3:15).
17. The gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-2).
18. Love (Galatians 5:6).
19. Grace (Ephesians 2:8).
20. Ourselves (Philippians 2:12).
21. The love of the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10).
22. Christ (1 Timothy 1:15).
23. Heeding and continuing in the doctrine (1 Timothy 4:16).
24. God’s mercy (Titus 3:5).
25. Obedience (Hebrews 5:9).
26. Christ’s blood (Hebrews 9:14).
27. Works of faith (James 2:24). And yet, you publicly teach that were saved by faith alone! Hebrews Chapter 11 denies your idea of saving faith! Faith moved with godly fear (thus did Noah according to all) faith offered, obeyed, sojourned, looked for, received strength, offered, blessed, hid, refused, chose, forsook, kept the Passover, passed through the red sea, walls of Jericho fell down, et al) (Heb.11:4,7,9,10,11,16,17, 20,23-25,27-39) "these all obtained a good report through faith! THATS NOT MENTAL ASCENT!
You said you can still have salvation without baptism, but you cannot be an obedient Christian without it. What difference does this make? Is there a difference between being a Christian and an obedient Christian in the scheme of eternity?
Pastor Lance replies - Our salvation is based on faith in Christ alone, not on any work nor action we perform.
Only the word as is used in the the Bible means "immersed into '". Not only under water
I witnessed baptist baptizing witches who told them there were "saved", but that's they way of entry into the church to curse pastor and his flock.
Dear Pastor Guzik can you tell me if me small children can be water baptised, pls. They are below 10 years old. Is it not biblical.? Thank you.
I am actually looking for an article or video where I hear his take on paedobaptist.
If young children have a clear understanding of the Gospel, and if they are not being compelled by peers, family, etc., there is no reason to restrain them from being baptized.
Pastor David, can't you post some videos of baptized people in your community, thank you.
There may be some videos of baptizing people from years ago on the Calvary Chapel Santa Barbara youtube channel - we would do services on the beach and baptize brothers and sisters in the Pacific ocean!
Hi David, do you believe in a separate Baptism of the Holy Spirit/Of Fire? Or is there one Baptism?
Pastor Lance replies - We at EW believe in an experience with the Holy Spirit subsequent to regeneration, although it doesn't necessarily have to be 'after.' It goes by different titles; baptism of the Spirit, filling of the Spirit, etc. We do NOT however, believe that it elevates someone into some kind of special class. We believe that it is normative and intended by God for empowering us to walk in the Spirit rather than the flesh. We are Continuationist rather then Cessationist. We are Charismatic in theology but not by practice in the sense that we find much of the misuse of spiritual gifts unbiblical. We believe that a genuine filling of the Spirit and use of the gifts is supernaturally-natural - just like Jesus showed.
I hope that answers your question. Obviously, much more could be said.
@DavidGuzikEnduringWord yes it does answer my question. Thank you for the reply and for the content on the channel.👌🙏
17:36 Now, David affirms that one can be saved apart from obedience. See Hebrews 5:8-9
Sorry Robby, but that is not what was said.
We are saved by faith, but true faith will be manifested by a changed life (obedience).
@DavidGuzikEnduringWord
Amd I want to state up front, I read your commentary daily- and I listen to much of what you produce.
I'm not an enemy. I do disagree with your view of what Baptism is.
The only verse in the Bible that mentions baptism and work is Colossians 2, where it is called the mighty work of God...
Baptism is akin to dipping in the Jordan 7 times to cure leprosy, its akin to marching, shouting, and blowing on rams horns to take an alien city, it's akin to looking at a Brazen serpent to cure snake bite... it is obedient faith, brought about by grace (Tit.2:11-12).
Repentance followed by water baptism is an act of obedience essential, after faith, in order to be saved
Then we must " recieve" the Holy Spirit. The word " recieve" in the original Greek means" to take hold of" the final act of obedience essential in order for one to be saved. Salvation isn't just about having faith its about being born again, and just as physicsl birth is the end result of a process, so is spiritusl rebirth. Acts 2:38 is that process.
@DavidGuzikEnduringWord,
Consider Nicodemus, here is a man who definitely had faith in Jesus, "we know (positively know) that you come from God, for no man can do these things you do unless God is with him." Is it safe to say you and I are in agreement in that his faith was genuine. I certainly would be convinced, yet despite his faith, he still needed to be born again.
Jesus knew Nicodemus "rejected the counsel of God not being baptized of John." John's baptism was heaven sent, and Nicodemus was rejecting salvation.
But for those who submitted to John's baptism, Jesus promised would "go" into the kingdom of God. "The harlots and tax collectors go into the kingdom of God before you" (Mt.21:31).
Then Jesus explains why, "for they believed John" (vs.32). Faith and obedience are conjoined in scripture (Jn.3:36 NASB).
Believing John's message, they submitted to being baptized, and declared God just for sending John.
Both John and Jesus were baptizing thousands at this time, a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Mk.1:4-5; Lk.3:3; Jn.4:1-2).
Jesus mentioning water in Jn.3:5, was not a mystery to Nicodemus. He fully understood what Jesus meant by water, but had difficulty understanding the new birth process.
Peter explains how one is born again in 1Pt.1:22-23). "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
Notice our souls are purified when we obey the truth, through the Spirit...being born again by the Word of God.
The Holy Spirit works on our hearts through the Word of truth. When we obey the truth, our souls are purified, and we are born again.
Just as when Jesus was speaking the truth to Nicodemus.
"Unless a man is born of water (baptism/obedience), and of the Spirit (through the Word of God) he cannot enter into the kingdom.
Notice that in Matthew 28:18 , Jesus didn't mention which baptism saves neither what substance of the three mentioned in scripture, so is (1) into the his Death's blood and bodily fluid that gushed out of his side upon the cross,
(2) the earthly element of natural water 💧, or
(3) the Holy Spirit and fire 🔥? That Jesus was referring to that saves us?
The context of the passage answers that for us. Jesus said to make disciples (bring people to faith in Jesus), and then baptize them. The context would point to the idea of water baptism . Hope this helps.
Is water baptism for the Church the Body of Christ? What did OUR (!) apostle Paul say about baptism in this dispensation of Grace?
1. Corinthians 1
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
16 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
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.
1. Corinthians 12
13 for by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Ephesians 4
4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Do you know what the Ministry of reconciliation means?
It takes two for the process of reconciliation. God made the first step: He reconciled himself to the world. He would never reconcile himself to sin. So what did He do?
Christ paid the price for the sins of the whole world. That was the necessary atonement, directly followed by God forgiving the world all trespasses.
Today, sin is not imputed to anyone, ALL sin was put on Christ, buried with him. When Christ rose again, all sin stayed in his grave and is not ever to be re-imputed to anyone in this dispensation of Grace.
That's our good news of today the Gospel of our salvation: the work was finished on the cross, once and for all. Now sin is put out of the way between God and man. Hallelujah 🙏🙏🙏
Now it's your turn: be ye reconciled to God. Believe that all your sins were forgiven by God when Christ paid the price for every single sin.
This is salvation today: believe, your sins were completely forgiven on the cross when you were His enemy,as the sins of the whole world were paid and forgiven there.
Believing that, trusting in Christ alone is what saves you today. In this very moment, Christ's righteousness is imputed in your account, by His spirit you are baptized into Christ, sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, eternal life and all spiritual blessings are yours, you are a new creature, a member of the church, the Body of Christ, your Destination is heavenly places.
Paul, our only apostle,did not say one single word in all his 13 epistles how to get your sins forgiven. Because salvation is to believe they already are.
This is our ministry, Ambassadors for Christ, ministers of reconciliation. Share the good news that God has forgiven all the worlds sin and is not imputing them, today is the day of salvation!

Grace and peace 🙏❤️
Yes you must be Baptized into Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13), but not John's baptism (John 3:26-27, Mark 11:30)
; but Rather Jesus's baptism (Matthew 20:23).
The LORD adds to his Church by Spirit Baptism (Acts 2:38-39, Acts 2:47) By the Will of God (John 1:12-13, John 6:44).
Baptism is only Justification (Galatians 3:14), the gift of Grace (Ephesians 2:8-9), but it is not salvation (Titus 3:7). Faith must be endured through obedience (Romans 6, Colossians 1:23).
But the Baptism could not be attained by our own works (Ephesians 1:11-14, Romans 9:11, 2 Timothy 1:9)
But yes believers must be Baptized, there is One Baptism (Ephesians 4:5) - The Holy Ghost (Acts 11:16-18) ❤
Again Here Paul says, to be Immersed into Christ Jesus, which is by the SPRINKING by Jesus the testator with the blood, ashes and water, hyssop via scarlet wool of the sacrificed thing by the testator of the Testament covenant, like unto that pattern God showed Moses of which the good things of Yeshua called Christ Jesus now fulfills. Even by Jesus as the testator of the New Testament written in Jesus' own blood and bodily water shedded upon the cross by faith. Then water baptism by immersion in water 💧 as the acknowledgement, identification and demarcation of already having been spiritual baptized into Christ death together with him upon calvary some how before the the foundation of the cosmos world
Mark 16 16 clearly shows it is necessary for salvation. If you believe Jesus you will be baptized / if you do not believe you will not get baptzed. It's not rocket science. John 3.5 born of water and spirit. Titus 3.5 water and spirit. Acts 1.5 water and spirit.
Great points, well said. Thank you for this. I believe we are mostly in agreement. I can only ask then: lacking baptism, in what sense would the thief on the cross see Christ in paradise?
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord too easy. Baptism as stated many times in scripture is for the forgiveness of sins. Jesus has the authority to forgive sins as he did the paralytic.
Did not Jesus say that you may know that the son of man has the authority to forgive sins I tell you pick up your bed and walk
Jesus did not have to say I forgive you of your sins it was implied.
For example how many people can go directly to heaven without experiencing death
We know of at least three Old testament heroes that did not experienced death but went straight to heaven
Clearly that is the exception and not the norm as it was for the thief on the cross.
So Jesus says you must be born of water and one of spirit and chooses at some point to take someone directly. That is certainly his prerogative
We are baptized into the spirit not a human being.
