1 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | justme | 77394 | ||
Searcher56:You make a valid point. Today some churches don't have a baptistry. Our church meets in a rented building. Baptisms are conducted generally when the lake water is warm enough or someones swimming pool is ready to use. That means the new christian has to wait to be baptized. While waiting that makes a good time to give a new believer some basics of the Christian life. It also allows time to prove a changed life has taken place. At least that's my opinion anyway. The Souther Baptist used to have a new believers booklet called Survival Guide for New Christians. I went through it myself in 1983 and it turned my life around, as I need to go over the basics because I was pretty carnal. I can say this is an excellent tool for new or old Christians who never got the basic Christian doctrine when the came to Christ. May I add that I have never understood the concept of some Baptist Conventions not accepting a baptism from another bapist denomination, and requiring new members to be rebaptized. I can't see a scriptual support for that. Perhaps someone could enlighten me on that. Peace and blessings justme |

2 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | sniper | 77432 | ||
I became a Christian in the dead of a northern winter. I was baptised in the swimming pool of a hotel the very hour that I decided that I wanted God to cleanse me. There is always a way to find water, and I believe that God in his providence will provide for a soul that is truly seeking. | ||||||
3 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | disciplerami | 77442 | ||
Sniper, Since you were immersed, it seems that you have followed the Biblical pattern. Those who sprinkled and pour water over the individual, in place of following this pattern, have to be concerned that they have abandoned the New Testament pattern. The manner in which some protest, you would think it was an evil thing to immerse people. But we will keep searchering for the truth. God bless, Disciplerami |
