Three or four times a year we interrupt our normal sermon track of going through the bible book by book, verse by verse to have these special Praise & Worship / Baptism weekends.
Friday nights are about 2 1/2 hours of just praise and worship ending with a baptismal service. This one was outdoors at a cool place called Cannonsburgh Village in our town. Then the two Saturday and two Sunday services the sermon is on baptism with each service ending with baptisms.

CC1 the Bible says "few are chosen". I'm sorry but heaven has met its quota and there is no room for these people. Because your church is outside of the apostolic faith I'm afraid there's something not legit about these baptisms. Let me ask a few questions: does the preacher who did the baptizing believe that Acts 2:38 is the only way to be saved? Does his wife have cut hair, wear make up and jewelry or pants? Does he go to the movies? Does he bowl? Amusement parks? There are important qualifiers to determine if "we" can accept these baptisms.
It's easy to report 67 being baptized. The Sanhedrin needs more information in order to approve of these alleged "births of water".
