1 | What does baptism consist? | 1 John 5:6 | kalos | 113660 | ||
Why is it that most professing Christians are baptized months and years after their conversion? One reason that many delay being baptized, I think, is that baptism is not emphasized nearly enough from the pulpit. Through the years I've been in many local churches where the leadership regarded baptism as relatively unimportant and virtually optional. There seems to be much silence on the subject. Of course, we know that being baptized is important and is not an option. If the command to be baptized were optional, then so would all of Jesus' other commands be optional, which is certainly not the case. In my own experience, my water baptism was an occasion of great joy. |

Greetings Kalos! I think that one reason for the neglect of baptism is that so many churches have so few converts that they are not quite sure what to do with one when they get one! :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
