We're all a family of sinners.. I really want to be baptized, but I don't know anyone who can. I don't even know if I can baptize myself.. What can I do?
Hi @1337, Great question. I would consider the age of 14 old enough to make the decision to get baptized based on the profession of their faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior. I generally ask someone a couple questions to make sure they understand what baptism means and why those who believe in Jesus take that step to get baptized.
Hello @Junior, great question, you can get baptized in any body of water: ocean, river, lake bathtub. Although, this is a public profession of your faith showing that you believe that Jesus is your Lord and Savior. If you there is no one that you know and you are not able to make it to our physical church we can help you take this action step of faith of getting baptized. Reach back out and we can connect.
Hello there, during quarantine I have been wanting to surrender all to Yeshua and give myself to him. But since church is close. Is it okay if my parents who are baptized baptize me? Even if it’s not at a river?
Hi Nicole! That's great to hear that you're wanting to be baptized! You do not have to be baptized in a river, just a body of water. You can follow the steps in this video to be baptized!
Great question! As Pastor Dave says in this video, if you're in a household where no one has been baptized yet, and you've put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, you can have someone in your household walk you through this and baptize you. We baptize in Jesus's name, not our own names. Hope this video is helpful to you!
@@stevenreece1327 Thank you for sharing. Well, if you did get baptized before and understood what it signified, you don't need to be rebaptized. But if you didn't understand what it signified, I would encourage you to be rebaptized. Give the following website a read and let me know if it helps: www.gotquestions.org/baptized-again.html . In the meantime, may I ask, is there a reason you would like to be baptized again?
Hi Deli! We'd love to help you be baptized! If you are not able to have someone baptize you over there like the video instructed, please email our Connections Pastor, Pastor David (the one in the video), at davidw@crossroadschurch.com and he can help assist you virtually! Or you can actually text AMEN to 69922 as we'd love to connect with you and help you alongside this video to be baptized!
