Baptism Night

What a great evening! We had 3 people get baptised tonight.
It is always awesome to hear their testamonies and share the moment with them.

One thing I noticed was the reference to the fact that baptism in itself is not a saving act. No baptism is an outward sign of an inward reality.

For many of us who were baptised as children, we struggle at first with the need to have an adult baptism. What I heard tonight was the same thing I went through. There is a desire inside that builds. This is a desire is to be obedient and do it like Jesus did.This builds to the point where its no longer about should I or shouldnt I, but more so, something we want to do.

The congregation was supportive as always. Its such a great night that no one wants to miss it. Also, worship this evening was great. Poeple really came out to Praise and to Worship Gods goodness and grace. Nothing like a great occassion to bring us all together. There was a real spirit of love and fellowship. I am certain that God was with us tonight. His Holy Spirit and grace was abundant for us.

Praise be to God for His provisions for us!

  2. I was one of the three baptised on Saturday night. What a joyous, up-lifting, exhilarating experience! I have been on a natural high ever since. I feel the Holy Spirit working in my life like never before! The worship was incredible, the outpouring of love and support from everyone was overwhelming; and yes, the water was very, very cold. Praise God!
