Re: Baptized 12 Today!

CORRECTION : Just found out that 17 people were baptized today, not 12 and that a couple of more are going to be baptized tomorrow.

Wow that is good. I can hardly wait until our church starts to have those results.

It's great to hear of folks being buried with The Lord in baptism.

Probably 10 of the 12 were between the ages of 18-30 years old. So good to see young adults making a commitment to identify and walk with the Lord.

Before someone asks our church will baptize people spontaneously outside of these scheduled baptismal services if they like but being "one steppers" we are not in fear of them being lost should they repent and come to the Lord then die before they are baptized.

Our young church ( 2 1/2 years old) was packed out at this AM service with standing room only. About 120 folks there. Should be around 60-80 at the second service I believe. Between the two services we are consistently running 150-200 people total each Sunday. We are about to have to go to a third Sunday service. A nice problem to have!
