In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson leads a study on the often misunderstood topic of Holy Spirit baptism. Drawing from his own experiences and a close reading of Scripture, Mike explores the difference between modern claims of spiritual experiences and the biblical teaching about receiving the Holy Spirit. Beginning in John’s Gospel and continuing through passages such as John 3, Acts 2, and Acts 19, he explains how the new birth is connected to obedience to the gospel and baptism into Christ. This discussion encourages listeners to look carefully at the full context of Scripture and consider how faith, repentance, baptism, and the gift of the Holy Spirit fit together in God’s plan of salvation.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson leads an in-depth discussion on the biblical plan of salvation, focusing on the role of baptism in God’s saving work. Beginning with the warning of Hosea 4:6 about a lack of knowledge, Mike challenges listeners to study the Scriptures carefully rather than relying on human traditions. Drawing connections throughout the Bible—from Noah and the flood, to the Red Sea crossing, to the ministry of John the Baptist and the teachings of Jesus—he explores how God has repeatedly used water as part of His plan to deliver His people. By examining passages from the Old and New Testaments, including Mark 16 and 1 Peter 3, this episode encourages listeners to search the Word of God for themselves and consider how faith, obedience, and baptism fit into the pattern revealed in Scripture.

Along the way, the discussion addresses common objections, compares Old Testament circumcision with New Testament baptism, and encourages listeners to search the Scriptures for themselves.
