Subject: Why do we delay baptism, not His Supper? |
Bible Note: Searcher: I see your point. In SBC churches baptisms are generally done within a short time after public confession. I know it is not true for all pastors, but there are some who go over scripture and give the person sonething to study to grow in the spirit and knowledge of Christ. Sometime durring the lessons when the pastor is convienced there is a genuine beliefe in Christ the person is baptised. I have seen many be baptised with no counseling or even a Bible given to the new Christian. Not giving any Scriptual counsel or even a Bible is my pet peave. To ignore some Scriptual counseling and making sure the person has a Bible is as important as baptism. We have to many uncertian believers that are not sure they are born again. This can only be corrected by the Pastors baptising these people. If the person walks in the invitation and askes to be baptised I see nothing to say we should not baptise then ASAP. As long as counseling follows. Many churches do not allow unbaptised people take Communion. Is that wrong? Blessings. justme |
