Unique Baptismal Service

[Rhoni]

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a baptismal service at a local Charismatic Church where my co-worker was getting baptized. I was curious as to the formula they would use and was pleasantly surprised:

They baptized 62 people and before they were baptized read the candidate's personal commitment to the Lord and then they baptized them using the following formula:

I now baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost by the name and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. I thought that it was perfect!

The service was personal, and scripturally correct in every way! The following worship/Encounter service was equally as wonderful. I love to see how God is moving across all denominational lines.

Blessings, Rhoni
