What is baptism really? Is it required for salvation? Why are so many Christians hesitant to get baptized? And what should you do if someone asks about baptism before they truly understand the gospel?

In this episode of the Gospel Talks Podcast, George Binoka sits down with Pastor Brad for a deeply practical conversation on baptism, discipleship, salvation, and helping people take their next step with Jesus Christ.

They discuss:

  • The biblical purpose of baptism
  • Why baptism follows salvation—not before it
  • Common misunderstandings from Catholic and religious backgrounds
  • How to talk to someone who wants to get baptized but may not be saved
  • Fear, embarrassment, and hesitation surrounding baptism
  • Why baptism is a powerful public declaration of faith
  • How everyday Christians (not just pastors) can lead gospel conversations
  • Real stories of adult conversions and baptisms happening right now

This episode is packed with practical wisdom for pastors, disciplers, small group leaders, and every Christian who wants to become more effective in relational evangelism and discipleship.
