Dr T Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 3 of my amazing sons and I got baptized tonight in the Christian church! Quote
Elphaba Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 You'd never been baptized before? Sorry if that is a stupid question. I don't know how these things work outside of the LDS faith. I know you are a Christian, so I had just assumped you'd been baptized, somewhere, sometime, by someone. I am glad you're happy and excited. Congratulations. Elph Quote
pam Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Congratulations. Awesome day for you and your boys. Quote
prisonchaplain Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Wonderful...how special that you all got baptized together! My seven-year old is expressing interest now...though we won't rush her until we sense she can really internalize it. Quote
Hemidakota Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Congrats on your children acceptance of being a Christian. :) Quote
Faded Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 3 of my amazing sons and I got baptized tonight in the Christian church!Congratulations Dr T. Christian Church? Just keeping the denomination non-specific, or is it one of the many denominations that refers to themselves as "The Christian Church"? Anyways, very happy for you Dr T, I still remember my baptism and what a wonderful and powerful experience it was for me. Felt like a fire had been lit inside me from my head to my toes. Good fire, you know. How old are your boys, and what was the overall experience like? Quote
AnthonyB Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 That's great, in the words of the chorus we sing at my church.... Oh, happy day, happy day, You washed my sin away. Oh, happy day, happy day, I'll never be the same. Forever i am changed. When i stand in that place, Free at last, meeting face to face, I am yours, Jesus, You are mine. Quote
Misshalfway Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 What a happy day for you and your family!!! So happy. THanks for sharing it with us. Hey....is there any cake left? Quote
lattelady Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 What a huge blessing to be able to be baptized together with other family members...a precious, precious memory for all of you! and a beautiful testimony for others to witness. I can still remember the honor and blessing of being baptized by my own dad 26 years ago! God bless you all. Quote
LonelyGargoyle Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Way to go Doc ! Must have been a nice, meaningful event for you and yours. Baptism is not requisite in the Christian/Evangelical arena in order to gain full membership and fellowship in the church you attend, is it? As I understand it, it is an optional ordinance that is left to each individual to participate in, or not. Quote
Jenda Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Congratulations, Dr T! I hope there were great shouts of praise and joy!Way to go Doc ! Must have been a nice, meaningful event for you and yours. Baptism is not requisite in the Christian/Evangelical arena in order to gain full membership and fellowship in the church you attend, is it? As I understand it, it is an optional ordinance that is left to each individual to participate in, or not. I am not sure what you mean by optional. It isn't required for salvation, but Christ commanded it, so it needs to be done out of obedience. Edited December 14, 2009 by Jenda Quote
