nathan0018 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) I am nathan from philppines, 16 years old. I am confused what i need to do, i am in my 4th year highschool(my last year in highschool) and preparing for my college. since my parents aren't capable to send me and my brother at the same time in college, i started to look for scholrship that could help in me. last afternoon my principal told me that one of her contacts offer full scholarship for the whole college and i'm qualify, but they only accept applicants that are catholics. since i am a mormon, i refuse the offer but the principal talked to my mother( she's a catholic) a tell me to just undergo the baptism just to be qualified. she said that there is no wrong to be baptize though i can still attend to my church. is it rigt to be baptized and take the scolarshp or just i must reject the offer ?

Hemidakota Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Do not 'sell your soul'. My question to you, why are not putting your paperwork in for a mission call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetandsour Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 cuz hes only 16, but yes i agree with you. dont sell your soul. getting that scholership under false pretenses would in the end would not make you happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubaloth Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The main advaice is pray. Talk the Lord and see what you should do. Also talk to your bishop/branch president. He can be one you can bounce Ideas off of. Is your brother also LDS? Or is he Catholic. I know he probably isn't to that point to where he can get a scholorship, but maybe when the time comes he can get it. I don't know. you have to do what feels right. To me, I can see both sides of it. One you are lieing about being cahtolic, but you also could share the gospel with others. But what would happen if they found out that you were LDS?

Just_A_Guy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Nathan, as a child of a Catholic mother, weren't you baptized as a baby? Why are they insisting you be baptized again? Also, have you talked to your local church leadership about the Perpetual Education Fund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 my first thought was talk to your bishop about going on a mission and what it takes to be qualified for the perpetual education fund...... if you start planning that now you should have time to do what you need to do.
