2 More Baptisms after church service today


The plastic pool was still filled with water, so we invited people to get baptized after church service today if they accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and want to obey His command to water baptize. Stephanie from the medical school Bible study and Bernadino from the neighborhood answer the call. He had to borrow clothes from us to get baptized. God provides in all kind of ways.
We taught today on Acts chapter 8: Philippe, from server to evangelist, focused on preaching Jesus-Christ and the kingdom of God. So should we, accepting the lordship of Jesus is always followed by baptism. Even though the Bible makes it clear that new believers should not be raised too quickly in leadership, we need to understand that we are a nation of priests. To make the point today, I invited Emmanuel who got baptized yesterday to assist me today in baptizing the 2 new candidates.
