Subject: why do we baptize differently? |
Bible Note: justme: I hope you have not taken what I said and make it sound as if I don't believe in baptism. I do believe in baptism. My last sentence was, "I agree one should be baptized, but if you are unable to do so "your faith has made you whole". And I am so glad that you could fulfill that elderly woman's last wish. The church I attended had baptismals once a week. Everyone that had accepted Jesus as Lord that week were gathered in front of the whole congregation for witness of their commitment. It was food for our souls to have everyone see our acceptance of Christ and it was food for the church to let them see those that were added to the kingdom of God. There is no conflict here! Grace to you. |
