If Baptism Requires This… Most Christians Aren’t Baptized

Does baptism require immersion—and is immersion the only valid mode of baptism? In this video, we examine one of the most common arguments for baptism by immersion and whether the Greek word "baptizō" actually demands it. You’ll see how passages like Mark 7 and Luke 11 challenge rigid assumptions about baptizō, and how early Christian teaching in the Didache allowed for pouring as well as immersion. We also look at figures like Balthasar Hubmaier to understand how this debate developed during the Reformation. Ultimately, this video isn’t just about baptism—it’s about how theological arguments are built, and how a single word can be stretched beyond what Scripture actually supports. If you’ve ever wondered whether baptism must be by immersion or what the Bible really teaches about the mode of baptism, this will help you think more clearly and biblically. 💰 Support Canon & Creed: https://givebutter.com/canonandcreed Canon & Creed investigates intriguing questions about Christianity, the Bible, and the Church — tracing answers through Scripture, church history, and the historic Protestant tradition.
