[Sam]

On March 28, 1955 I invited Jesus Christ to come into my life.
He did and changed me.
I became a new creature in Christ.

I started going to a Baptist Church.

A couple of months later I wanted to be baptized by immersion.

There were 4 of us who wanted to be baptized.
We had to go to a Wednesday midweek service, stand and give our testimony, and be willing to respond to any questions anyone might want to ask.
After we each gave our testimony, the pastor asked if anyone wanted to ask any of us questions.
A deacon stood up and said something like, "I think their lives are testimony to their salvation," and the congregation was given the chance to vote as to whether we should be baptized and accepted for membership. We were all voted in. I don't remember signing any paper or anything like that. All 4 of us were teenagers.
