Last Wednesday evening, after Bible Study, I had the pleasure of talking with one of our members about baptism. She declared that she had been listening to the sermons and studies and the parts about baptism really stood out. She had come to the conclusion that her baptism was not for the right reason and felt that she needed to do it according to the holy scriptures. Considering how important baptism is to our salvation, we decided we could not delay this act of obedience, therefore we readied her for baptism.
I was able to speak to her husband, who by the way is a new Christian too, and he wanted the privilege to baptize his wife. This was a wonderful gesture on his part so we went over what he must say and how she must respond. Once she was ready, he baptized her into Christ and she is now confident that her baptism is scriptural and she has been added to the Lord's church by God Himself (Acts 2:47).
What a glorious occasion knowing that another soul has been saved for the kingdom's sake. The devil has no claim on this soul any longer and the victory is in Christ Jesus. Amen!
Cynthia Wilson was baptized into Christ on the 23rd of February, 2011.
