1 | Who should baptize? | Acts 2:41 | stjohn | 218208 | ||
Hi Searcher, Yes, I would tend to agree with you, and have really always seen it pretty much in that way, though I've never quibbled with the believers I've been attached to. It doesn't do any good to argue about it when we are with those who feel very strongly about something that doesn't adversely effect our salvation or sanctification. I wasn't around any believers for quite some time and obviously not a member of a Church when I first believed and was saved. I did read the Bible several times though, and felt no strong compulsion to be baptized. But, as soon as I joined a Church I wanted to be baptized right away. That says something I think, about it (i.e. water baptism) being an outward sign. I was baptized (dunked!) in the river by the way, it was very cold! :-) John |

God's day to you, again, John, I have an issue with the delay in baptism ... "to make sure the person is saved" is one reason ... yet the new Christian is allowed to take communion. Searcher |

Dear Searcher, So what is your issue? I'm not clear about what you are saying. Should there be a delay to see if they are saved, or not? And who, pray tell is it that, determines whether someone is saved? The eunuch was baptized right away, so were the 3000. John |

4 | Who should baptize? | Acts 2:41 | Searcher56 | 218212 | ||
John, my isssue that there is a delay in baptism after salvation. I think it should be right away. I don't know why the ministers don't believe the person and want to make sure. The only one who was delayed to get the water treatment was Paul (Act 9:9-18). Searcher |
