Catholic vs. Protestant Debate on Baptism

Episode 70

Fresh off a record month, we are rapidly approaching 10,000 downloads (in less than half the time it took us to get to 5,000!).  To celebrate and show our gratitude to you, dear listener, we bring you a good-hearted, truth-seeking debate.  One that highlights some of our underlying differences as a Protestant and a Catholic: a debate on Baptism.  It’s a topic that Ben even says has become one of his biggest hang-ups with Catholicism.

Ben, therefore, fills this episode up with a pool (or font?) of questions, as he goads Chad into trying gainers off the high dive.  The two jump headfirst into the deep (and regenerating?) waters of this topic.  Is Baptism critical for salvation?  If Catholics say yes, wouldn’t that be a doctrine of “works salvation” if our eternity depends upon a ritual?  If Protestants say no, what’s the point of Baptism in the first place if all you have to do is say a prayer?  And how finally should we read passages in the Bible, like John 3:5?

We hope you enjoy!  Thank you for liking, subscribing to, and sharing the podcast!  Please give us your feedback on the debate at (4) Manhood Restored | Facebook or by emailing us at [email protected]
