This course “Understanding Water Baptism and Salvation” is an evangelism and Soul-winning course offered by the International School of Christ Kindred (ISOCK) and has been carefully developed to provide a comprehensive, biblical, and doctrinal understanding of one of the most frequently debated questions within Christianity:
Is being baptized in water the same as being born again or saved?
Throughout this course, students will undertake an in-depth scriptural examination of the biblical doctrine of water baptism and its relationship to salvation. Every lesson is supported by relevant biblical references, carefully prepared study materials, and assessments designed to evaluate the student's understanding of each topic.
Our objective is not merely to increase biblical knowledge, but to establish every student upon the truth of God's Word so that they may confidently explain and defend the biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Course Purpose
There is an urgent need for sound biblical teaching concerning God's gift of salvation and the true purpose of water baptism. Around the world, many sincere believers continue to misunderstand the relationship between baptism and salvation.
This course seeks to equip students with clear, Scripture-based answers founded upon the authority of the Holy Bible. By the conclusion of this course, students will possess the biblical knowledge necessary to distinguish between salvation by grace through faith and the ordinance of water baptism, while appreciating the significance and importance of both.
