"We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live in new life."
Romans 6:4
The act of baptism does not save. One's faith in Christ and what He did for them saves.
Baptism is an act of obedience to the word. It is a visual symbol of what the above verse states! Jesus himself, as a man, was baptized and He rejoices to see us follow Him in that act!
Robed and ready to go!
Excited boy!
Final instructions!
Look at my baby in there!! Of course I had tears in my eyes! The greatest prayer I have for my children........answered for my son!
Hallelujah!!! Praise the Lord!!
He came up with the biggest, most excited smile on his face! Pastor Chris chuckled as Jman swam out of the baptistery!!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation! The old has gone the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
We were blessed to have Nana, Poppy, cousins Zach and Josh, and Zach's girlfriend come and witness and celebrate with us!
I brought Agirl into the sanctuary to watch brother get baptized. She of course wanted to do it too because, she wants to do everything her big brother does! We know that one day, she will claim Christ personally and publicly profess her own faith!
After Chris brought Jman up out of the water she asked me, "Why did he put Bubba under the water like that? He could drown!"
Thank you Lord for this special day in our son's life!
Feeling very blessed indeed,
2019 IS GETTING AWAY FROM ME!
