I Buried 4 Yesterday!
 
We had a Baptismal service today & 4 were buried in the name that is above every name!

The first was actually my first re baptism.
His name is Sadru & he has been around the block & back.
We are praying he sticks.
Almost got the Holy Ghost at the altar.

Second up was Chandima a new convert who has been coming for since last summer.
God filled her with the Holy Ghost & she has been pretty faithful.
She is hungry for God.

Great news. I thought you preached some funerals.

Re: I Buried 4 Yesterday!
 
She came up a new creation!

And then I thought she passed out or was slain in the Spirit!
She went under again.

Ron, she probably felt so fresh and clean that she wanted to dip again!

I'll NEVER forget how wonderful I felt when I was baptized!

She did! The Joy she felt is sometimes hard to express!
I got a clip on some video my wife shot that she was swimming around in there a bit & when she came out she playfully splashed a little water on the kids watching.

How Wonderful!!
I see that you get right down there in the water with them. My late father always did
the same. Many today just stand beside the baptistry and baptize. Not saying that
to criticize at all. :heart

I recall reading a story last year Ron. Someone handed a mic to a preacher in the tank, as you were.

The mic, apparently not properly grounded, electrocuted the minister right before his shocked congregation.

Just wanted to check on something because I'm a little confused. You say you "re-baptized" someone? If someone has been baptized, why would you do it again?
