Sadly, Dr. Lineberger, the pastor who baptized me in this video, took his own life. He had been struggling with severe depression for quite some time. I will never forget what he meant to me. He was my first pastor. And obviously I will never forget him baptizing me, especially since it's now been immortalized on RU-vid. Please pray for his family. May he rest in peace.
He is so cute! They tried to baptize me when I was 5 years old, I was so scared that I started screaming and pulling away from the Pastor! I made my Mom come and get me out of the pool. LOL (I got baptized at age 12 when I had a full understanding! :-)
Oh my Lord!! This child is evidence that God is real and awesome. Even in a period that is serious and sacred he used this babe to bring joy. This really encouraged me and thank U for posting. Bless U in Jesus name.
Jesus loves you so much❤️. I was addicted to porn for almost 6 years of my life, I was on drugs, alcohol and I hated people. Jesus set me free and he can set you free aswell ❤️ Just call out to him, give your life to him, and he will save you!
I got baptized at seven because i was penticostal apostolic and told the deacon that I wasn't ready to be baptized but he told me that if didn't get baptized right at that moment I was going to go to hell when I die later. But then in 2004 when i was 14 and my parents and other family became baptist in late 2000 I asked my mother is it was alright for me to get baptized when i was 14 and she only said yes because I told her that I had a full understanding of what it meant to be baptized
a christening is a catholic form of baptism for babies, but other denominations such as assemblies of god ect has a baby dedication which is much different. baptism is after you get saved its a sign of washing your sins away, might i add its amazing!
How did my baptism get on RU-vid? This was over 25 years ago. I've never even seen this video before. I has completely forgot I swam away like that? Where did you get this video from?
The pastor is Dr. Phil Lineberger who was at Heights Baptist Church in Richardson, TX at the time of this video. Currently, he is the Sr. pastor at Sugarland Baptist Church. Trust me, I remember my own baptism.
@mja3806 ah i think i understand. the memories i have were at a church in elmswell in england, which im fairly sure is a "church of england" church, not catholic or protestant. either way, what they did to me was nothing of my choice, i was too young to make the decision. my dad is what you could call (i guess) a casual christian, as in, he believes, but doesnt go to church. so it was probably his choice to do it.
You Don't Have To be Baptized To Go To Heaven, You Have To Say yes To Christ. When Your Baptized Your Not Saying Yes To God. Your Just Being Dipped In Water
31. So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in this Qur'an, in the Message of Muhammad ) nor prayed! 32. But on the contrary, he belied (this Qur'an and the Message of Muhammad ) and turned away! 33. Then he walked in full pride to his family admiring himself! 34. Woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you! 35. Again, woe to you [O man (disbeliever)]! And then (again) woe to you! Surah Qiyamah
26. Nay, when (the soul) reaches to the collar bone (i.e. up to the throat in its exit), 27. And it will be said: "Who can cure him and save him from death?" 28. And he (the dying person) will conclude that it was (the time) of departing (death); 29. And leg will be joined with another leg (shrouded) 30. The drive will be, on that Day, to your Lord (Allah)! 31. So he (the disbeliever) neither believed (in this Qur'an, in the Message of Muhammad ) nor prayed!
@JeremyLinski You are correct man, but if you truly did accept Jesus as you Saviour, you will have the surge to read his word, do what he tells you to do through bible and then when you feel you are ready, you should get baptized. YOu cannot just live you life like that till the end, the holy spirit inspires you to get baptized. God Bless
Matthew 3:13... Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River. Now the Jordan was a River. So, it was living water. So, we too, must be baptized in LIVING water. -Amen
so, if a man comes to know Jesus on his death bed (and I'm talking legitimately here), and knows for certain that Christ is lord etc....But they haven't been baptised. Is it hell for him?
@ilove2praisehim , sorry to hear that you were made to be baptized, expecially in an apostolic church. Although it is true you have to be baptized inorder to go to heaven, i apologize for the way you were made to be. Saying that though, i have one question... when you were re baptized was it in the name of Jesus like the bible says or was it in the titles of Father Son and Holy Spirit. if it was in that way father son spirit, i encourage you to look at the only way the bible baptizesitisntthtwa
im an atheist, but i have very vague memories of being christened. can some please explain to me the difference between a baptism and a christening? its always confused me. thanks :)
Baptism doesn't save, only Jesus saves. Only the blood of Christ can wash our sins away, not some water. If you're trusting baptism to forgive your sins and save you, you need to trust Jesus!!
@myGodis1lord It was in the name of Jesus. when i got re baptized i left the church and converted to the Baptist church.But now although i attend a baptist church i consider myself to be non denomenational.
@Udany147 baptism does not have anything to do with weather or not you go to hell. The bible says that anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord,repents of their sin (turns away from wrongdoing) and eccepts Jesus Christ's death as their ransom (price paaid for sin) they shall be saved. If one does not except Christ then it is hell for him/her. getting baptized will not save you......only Christ's blood and death can save us,if we do not accept Christ's death then we do not accept God's greatest
Colossians 2:9.... the Godhead bodily is "the father and the son and the holy spirit." and In Jesus dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodily... Give 1 scripture that says Jesus is not the Father....I dare ya! lol I have more if you need them...search the scriptures...if you seek His Truth...you'll find it.
What about him? Jesus was still alive when he spoke to him, and the new covenant was not in effect then. After his own resurrection is when Jesus said that whoever believes and is baptized will be saved. The thief on the cross was before that--so whatever Jesus promised to him doesn't make any difference to us who live on THIS side of Jesus's death.
36. Does man think that he will be left Suda [neglected without being punished or rewarded for the obligatory duties enjoined by his Lord (Allah) on him]? 37. Was he not a Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge of semen) poured forth? 38. Then he became an 'Alaqa (a clot); then (Allah) shaped and fashioned (him) in due proportion. 39. And made him in two sexes, male and female. 40. Is not He (Allah Who does that), Able to give life to the dead? (Yes! He is Able to do all things).

@rmanify After the wonderful manifestation of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, Peter exhorted the people to repentance and baptism in the name of Christ, for the remission of their sins; and he said: “Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:38, 39.
sorry to hear that, but the fact is (I hope your ready for the bible truth) the ONLY way anyone was baptized in the bible was in "the name of Jesus Christ". according to ACTS 2:38. The apostles obeyed The Lord Jesus, and did it right!
Jesus is not the real name of the Messiah. People please look it up. The Messiah was Hebrew from the tribe of Judah. Why would he be given a Greek name? His name is Yahshua or Yahoshua. Please research for yourself and lets get the truth back. In the name of our Creator Yah.
But he didn't even say, "Jesus" at all....isn't that the name that they baptized in in the Bible? Nobody was ever baptized that way in the Bible....Jesus is the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost...ACTS 2:38 It's cute that kid swimming and all but the "baptism" itself is not funny in the least. Sad.
