Baptism - 9/16/2008 7:46:24 PM

I've always wanted my parents to be there when I was baptized, but I guess the longer I wait the more I long to be baptized.

I've asked my Pastor to baptize me this Sunday night. And I am REALLY excited about it, but I just wish my family could be there. When I wanted to get baptized when I was younger my Mother wouldn't approve because my older sister was getting baptized and didn't want to take that moment from her. So I have put it off and put it off because my family has been out of church and I have moved away from home a few times, but now I just think I am ready.

I think I am going to have the bestie take a picture or two and that way I can send that to them! yay :D

Just pondering on whether to wait. I don't think I will, but pondering.

Out of curiosity, Pops, what denomination of church do you attend?

Hello PopsiLufsJesus

Tell me. Are you worshiping the ordinance of water baptism or Jesus Christ. Baptism is a ceremony that you use to testify to the fact that your old self is buried and that your new man is now risen with Christ. I think you should have the baptism but your parents need to see your regenerated life and the anointing that knowing the Lord gives you.

Water baptism is something properly done as soon as possible after new birth. In Acts 2 we see thousands being baptized the SAME DAY. (of course they were on the Temple mount where there was some 1500 Mikva pools for the priests)

Just do it.
