Does Baptism Simply Wash You; or Bury the Old You?

What if baptism isn’t just a symbol, but a death certificate and a birth announcement all at once?
In this episode of True Word, Faith for LIFE!, Dr. Shawn M. Greener, Follower of the Way, theologian, and author, unpacks Romans chapter 6 to reveal what it truly means to be baptized into covenant life.

From the Ancient Near Eastern understanding of covenant to Paul’s radical declaration that baptism unites us with Messiah’s death and resurrection, this teaching exposes the deeper truth: baptism doesn’t just wash you—it buries the old you and raises you new.
