Baptized Four Times

More Videos

Ever wonder why we’re seeing such a concerted effort to define and defend the gospel of Jesus Christ? Listen to J. D. Greear describe why he was baptized four times while growing up. Pastor of The Summit Church in Durham, North Carolina, Greear explains how he eventually came to understand that salvation depends not on his feelings and experience but on the objective work of Christ on the cross 2,000 years ago.

Greear’s forthcoming book, Gospel: Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary, is the latest title aimed at clearing away misconceptions about the gospel and focusing our attention on Jesus’ words and work. Other important recent works including Greg Gilbert’s What Is the Gospel? and Trevin Wax’s Counterfeit Gospels: Recovering the Good News in a World of False Hope. In this video, these three authors discuss how it’s possible for churches to believe in the gospel of what God has done for us and still turn Christianity into a list of things we must do for God.

They talk about how the breakdown of cultural Christianity forces young believers to get beyond moralism and dive into the riches of the gospel. And they also explain how love for the God of the gospel overflows into radical generosity, Bible study, missions, and a host of other good works.
