In this message from Pastor Dave of the Seed Christian Fellowship, the focus is on the significance of baptism as seen in Matthew 3:1–17, where John the Baptist calls for repentance and prepares the way for Jesus, who is baptized to fulfill all righteousness, resulting in the heavens opening, the Spirit descending like a dove, and God's voice declaring, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Amid debates over modes—immersion, pouring, sprinkling, or even humorous anecdotes like fire-hose baptisms or Ollie's "conversion" from beef to fish—Pastor Dave emphasizes that the form is secondary; baptism is an outward sign of inward spiritual realities worked by the Holy Spirit: death to sin and resurrection to new life, cleansing and forgiveness of sins, regeneration and renewal, and adoption or engrafting as beloved sons and daughters into God's family. Drawing from personal stories, including a powerful Andean river baptism and a young man's spontaneous decision to be baptized, he urges listeners to remember who they are in Christ—forgiven, renewed, and loved by the Father—echoing the call to Simba in The Lion King: "Remember who you are. You are more than you have become," inviting all, whether baptized or not, to embrace this new beginning in the new year through faith in Jesus.
