In this episode, we break down “Justification by Works” from The Two Babylons and examine the claim that salvation through human effort didn’t originate in Christianity but traces back to ancient Babylonian religion.

We explore how systems of penance, ritual, and priestly mediation shifted the focus from grace to works, and what that means for spiritual freedom today. Is salvation something you earn—or something already finished?

This episode challenges tradition, exposes historical parallels, and asks one central question:

Are we trusting in what’s been done… or in what we do?

In this episode, we examine Chapter 4, Section 1 of *The Two Babylons*, focusing on the doctrine of baptismal regeneration.

Hislop argues that the idea of spiritual rebirth through water did not originate with biblical Christianity, but instead traces back to ancient pagan mystery religions. For example, he points to ritual washings in ancient Babylonian and other mystery systems, where initiates believed water itself had the power to cleanse sin and impart new spiritual life.

Is baptism a symbol of faith—or a means of salvation? Join us as we dig into the roots of this controversial teaching and test it against Scripture.

In this chapter, we look into A.Hislops examination of the Feast of The Assumption and where it's historical roots actually derive from.
