Two Baptisms

Posted April 15th, 2008 by MamaArcher 9 Comments »

This past Sunday evening there was much rejoicing. Two of our children were baptized!

Acts 2:38-39
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

They were asked several questions in front of a small congregation and gave their testimony in that way. I video taped the questions EXCEPT for the first two questions (I couldn’t remember how to work my camera). The questions not on the video are:
1. What is the sign of baptism? Answer: Washing with water
2. What does the washing with water represent? Answer: that we are untied with Christ and cleansed from sin by his blood.
You can listen to the rest….

Here are a few pictures…..

The service was concluded with someone playing Amazing Grace on their trumpet, which of course, brought tears to my eyes.

    This brought tears to my eyes. How beautiful to have your children give their hearts to Christ and to follow through with baptism. What a wonderful moment to treasure always!!!

    Be blessed!

    I don’t know why but I just realized that I always thought you were Presbyterian. Probably because almost everyone around our neck of the woods that is reformed is Presby. My brain just defaults.

    I can’t even imagine how blessed it must be to hear your children confess Christ and see them baptized!
