Is this a real circumstance, or a “what if” scenario?

That is what I was thinking.
My father had been sick for approx 5 years and could barely walk or breathe due to congestive heart failure and emphezema, but when he decided to be Baptized in Jesus name...
I remember the walk to the baptistry and it was so labored and slow. It took approx an hour to get him baptized and I have pictures of each step he took. That memory will be forever in my mind. Where there is a will, there is a way.
I worked in a nursing home as Social Service Director for the subacute unit. There was a woman there who was dying of cancer. She wanted to be baptized. There was one tub with a Hoyer lift that we strapped around her and lowered her into the bathtub to get her baptized. We had to get a lot of people's permission because of the legal liability...but we did.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.
