Pastor Mark Hogan teaches on baptism as a central ordinance for worship and discipleship, citing Matthew 28, Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 4 to show it accompanies repentance, faith, and incorporation into the church while confirming rather than independently accomplishing regeneration. He emphasizes its dual significance: both for personal soteriology and for church membership, and argues from Acts 8, 10, and 18 and Romans 6 that only those who credibly profess repentance, faith, and obedience should be baptized. He further contends that immersion is the proper mode, supported by Colossians 2:11–12, the lexical meaning of baptizo, New Testament examples such as Jesus' baptism and the Ethiopian eunuch, and historical witnesses including Calvin, Luther, Bavinck, and early baptistries. Baptism portrays participation in Christ's death, burial, and resurrection and should be performed with understanding, faith, reverence, and godly fear as an act of worship. He applies this by urging professing Christians to be immersed as an outward sign of inward reality, to pray for conversions, celebrate baptisms, and remember their own baptism as a call to walk in newness of life.

And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Psalm 72 is a royal prayer asking God to grant the king (and ultimately the Messiah) a just and righteous reign that brings peace, prosperity, and universal dominion while defending the poor and needy.
