Some build a doctrine on who we should baptise in the name of, but what do the scriptures say?

There are some interesting observations that can be made about being a son to a spiritual father from the stories of kings and their sons in the Old Testament. So much about the father shaped the sons. Spiritual sons cannot afford to romanticise the relationship that they have with their spiritual father. Sonship means that they will become much like their father and carry the weight of what he imparts to them.

Reformation is a generational process, so we can expect our children and grandchildren to observe and participate in the outworking of this apostolic reformation. Therefore, we must work from a generational perspective. Reformation is a generational process, so The Bible says, ‘First the natural, and then the spiritual’ (1 Corinthians 15:46). The three stages that I have just mentioned apply to spiritual fathers and their sons in the faith.
