Is baptism necessary for salvation? Does baptism save you? In 1 Corinthians 1:14–17, Paul clearly separates baptism from the gospel—and that changes everything!

In this Short Fuse episode of The Holy Hand Grenade, we break down what Paul actually meant when he said, “Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel.” If baptism is required for salvation, why would Paul say that? Was he minimizing it... or clarifying something massive about grace?

We walk verse by verse through 1 Corinthians 1:14–17 and explain why baptism and the gospel are not the same thing. Salvation is by grace through faith, not by ritual, ceremony, or works. And once you see it in the text, you can’t unsee it!

If you've ever wondered:

👉 Is water baptism required to be saved?

👉 Why did Paul say he was glad he didn’t baptize many?

👉 Are faith and baptism separate?

This episode is for you!

📖 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:14–17

What if Satan didn’t lose by accident…

What if the cross was actually his greatest strategic failure... the one move that sealed his defeat forever?

In today’s episode of The Holy Hand Grenade, we dive into what might be Satan’s greatest mistake — and it’s hiding in plain sight in 1 Corinthians 2:6–9.

Paul says something absolutely WILD: That the rulers of this world didn’t understand God’s plan, because if they had… they never would have crucified the Lord of glory.

That means Satan thought he was winning… …but the cross was actually the trap. 😈➡️✝️➡️👑

So what exactly were these “hidden mysteries”? Who are the “rulers of this age”? And how does this connect to spiritual warfare, prophecy, and the unseen battle behind history?

We’re unpacking it all. Bible open, gloves off, and yes… with a few holy hand grenades thrown in for good measure. 💣📖 📖

⚡ The Surprise Return of the Bridegroom — A midnight shout. A sudden snatching away. Yes… the Pre-Tribulation Rapture right in the wedding tradition

What if the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony was more than just tradition? What if it was a divine typology blueprint for the Gospel and the Rapture? 💒

In Part 1 of this 2 part episode of The Holy Hand Grenade Podcast, we dive head-first (with a smile, some laughs, and a strong cup of coffee ☕) into the ancient Jewish wedding customs that mirror the relationship between Christ and His Bride: the Church. From the finding of the bride to the wedding feast, each step tells a story that points straight to the Gospel, the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and the ultimate Wedding Feast in Heaven!

In Part 1, we’ll unpack:

✨ The Finding of the Bride — How the Father chooses a Bride for His Son

💍 The Betrothal Process — What it means to be married

💰 The Price of the Bride — And the incredible cost Jesus paid for us

❤️ The Bride’s Consent — Your yes still matters

🍷 The Cup of the Covenant — A promise sealed in love

If you’ve ever wondered why Jesus used so many wedding idioms and how these ancient customs connect to prophecy, grace, and God’s master plan, this episode is for you. Buckle up—this one’s equal parts Bible study, mystery, and celebration!

Keep an eye out for Part 2 where we cover the other 6 steps that CLEARLY prove there is a Pre-Trib Rapture! You won't want to miss it!

Ever notice how the Bible talks about two very different comings of Jesus? 🤔 In this episode of The Holy Hand Grenade Podcast, we dig into why the Rapture and the Second Coming are not the same event... and why it matters!

We’ll look at how Scripture paints two radically different pictures:

⚡ The Rapture → Comes like a thief in the night 🕛, no one knows the day or hour, believers caught up in the air, and the world is totally unprepared. ⚔

The Second Coming → Every eye will see Him 👀, the timing can be calculated from key events, and the armies of the earth are literally waiting to fight Him.

We’ll compare verses side-by-side, have a few laughs (as always), and show you how this prophecy puzzle comes together in a way that makes perfect sense.

Whether you’re new to Bible prophecy or a seasoned end-times nerd, you’ll walk away with a fresh excitement for the hope we have in Christ. And maybe even a grin or two. 😄

📖 Scriptures covered: Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, Revelation 19, and more!

Is the Tribulation coming soon? What exactly is the Tribulation, and does the Bible say the Church won’t be here for it?

📖 1 Thessalonians 4 – “Caught up together with them in the clouds”

📖 1 Corinthians 15 – “In the twinkling of an eye...”

📖 Matthew 24 – "One will be taken and the other left"

Whether you’ve grown up hearing about the Rapture or you're totally new to the topic, we promise a biblical deep dive that’s fun, thought-provoking, and maybe just a little spicy. 🌶️
