    About this ebook

    There are seven different baptisms recorded in the Bible. Consequently, there are many questions concerning these baptisms. This small, but very instructive, book includes answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about water, Holy Spirit Baptism and Jesus only baptism. The basis for these answers is the authoritative Word of God and not denominational or our personal interpretations.

    J. Bennett Collins

    I, Evangelist Collins was saved at the age of seven in Fayetteville, North Carolina, while kneeling between his mother and brother at family prayer. I was called to preach at the age of fifteen and at seventeen began a full-time ministry. I attended Greenville Bible Institute and took special courses at Bob Jones University. I received a Doctor of Divinity degree from Indiana Baptist College. I have twelve years experience as a pastor and fifty-two years experience as an evangelist. I married Helen Sherrill from Statesville, North Carolina, and we have one child Bill Collins. Bill has two children and five grandchildren. One of Dr. Collins’ grandsons, Brian Collins, is a missionary in Singapore. Along with my evangelistic ministry, I am Director of Sermon and Song, Inc, a radio ministry of forty-six years which is heard on more than fifty stations including the Fundamental Broadcasting Network. I have a website: www.sermonandsongministries.org. My main desire in life is to preach the gospel and see others come to know his Savior. My books are simply written and true to the Bible. I am evolved in a mission ministry in Pakistan. 100s are coming to know the Lord. Full information is on my web site. When time permits, I like to hack away at golf. If my preaching is no better than my golf game "Have mercy on the congregation" Please contact me if I can be of spiritual help.

    BAPTISM--HOLY SPIRIT, WATER, IN WHOSE NAME?

    by Dr. J. Bennett Collins

    We have many questions asked as a result of our radio ministry Sermon & Song. In the following pages I give answers to one man’s question concerning Jesus Name Only Baptism and other related questions concerning true salvation and baptism as taught in the Bible. There is a strong possibility that you will encounter some of these questions and claims of contradictions in the Bible in your daily conversations and in your witnessing. Therefore, I thought it would be good to put these answers in printed form and offer them to you.

    I spent a great deal of time studying the Bible and searching for truth, in order to give this man thus saith the Lord. I sincerely hope you will read this carefully and perhaps several times. It is possible that we have covered something that has been bothering you and this will clarify it for you. You may want other copies to give to someone else who needs this information.

    You will notice that I have not consulted commentaries or the ideas of other men and do not quote any denominational precepts. I was impressed that this man really wanted to know the truth and therefore I went to the Bible alone for the answers. It was necessary for me to be repetitive from question to question due to the need to emphasize basic doctrine. Repetition is a good way to learn so be sure you read all the answers and the Scripture verses.

    BASIC APPROACH TO STUDYING SCRIPTURE

    There are a few important truths you need to know before approaching any subject in the Bible. First of all, you must have complete faith in the Word of God as being without error and never contradicting itself. If there seems to be a contradiction, it is in your mind and not in the Scriptures. Secondly, you need to heed the admonition of 2 Timothy 2:15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.Do not just study but study to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the Word of truth. The only way you can do this is to realize that God has
