In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore the important connection between baptism and church membership. Why does MBC require believer’s baptism for membership? How does baptism serve as a public declaration of faith and belonging to the church? We walk through the biblical foundation for baptism, its role in church history, and why believer’s baptism is the normative practice at MBC. I also share my personal reflections on open membership—holding to believer’s baptism while recognising the need for thoughtful conversation around its connection to membership. Whether you’re considering baptism, church membership, or just wanting to think more deeply about this topic, this episode offers a balanced and biblical perspective.
