Baptism Weekend - 72 Baptized in Jesus Name!
Some of you have seen my thread about this past weekend's "Raised to Life' night of praise and worship at my church.
When we do these Praise & Worship nights (usually quarterly) we also make that weekend a baptism weekend with baptisms on the Praise & Worship night and then at all three Sunday services.
Our church is not in a conventional church building so there is no baptistry. For our baptismal services we bring in two very large rubber tubs (maybe for watering cattle I think).
I just saw the total numbers and can tell you that between Friday nights Praise & Worship night and the three services yesterday a total of 72 people were baptized in Jesus name!
Note: for those of you concerned that we don't offer baptisms every service I assure you that if someone wants to be baptized before one of our baptismal services we will gladly find a place to do it.
Our church is a little over five years old and has now baptized well over 500 people in Jesus name over those five years.
When we moved into our new building about 1 1/2 years ago we were averaging around 450 folks between our three Sunday services. The first Sunday was Easter Sunday 2013 and we had 703 people there. It has been steady growth since then with 1,229 in attendance yesterday.
Great numbers but when you look at the number of people in my town of 100,000 that don't attend any church on Sunday we have a lot more to do.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Here is a link to the video of the sermon on baptism Sunday 8/10/14. The link is to the Experience Community media / lessons page. For the baptism sermon video click on the picture labeled "Baptism" that is on the far right of the first row of choices once you are on that page.

Re: Baptism Weekend - 72 Baptized in Jesus Name!
Pretty good baptism message. Typical PCI doctrine. Didn't particularly care for "heck" and "screw", but then I'm a traditionalist Pentecostal.

He has been trying to do better! LOL. I will tell him about your post. If you get a chance check out #2 in the sermon series "Raise to Life". I listened to it on a business trip today and I think a lot of people would like it. One the media page it is actuall the 3rd button from the left of the buttons marked "Raised to life".
Normally all three of our services have the same sermon as we go through the bible by chapter and verse but Pastor felt led to do this 7 week series on Sunday nights that deviated from the norm. The 6 pm service is heavily skewed towards a younger demographic and I think the content of this sermon is what every young person needs to hear. Particularly those not raised up in church.

Because I am an idiot. I said to look for "Raised to Life" and that was the name of our Praise & Worship night, not the name of this series. Let me check it out and I will post the correct info. The name of this series is "It starts with you".

Re: Baptism Weekend - 72 Baptized in Jesus Name!
On the "Media / Lessons" page click on the "More Videos" button then go to page two and select "It Starts With You - Family". It is the second sermon in the "It Starts With You" series. I will paste what I hope is the direct URL to take you to that page 2 of "more videos";

I listened. He does good. He really needs to drop the slang (boobs, screw, butt). I realize that he is IDing with his crowd, but JFTR I didn't like it from Jeff Arnold either. jmho
