It’s commanded…
On October 29, 2007, six people were baptized before the missionary community. Everyone looked a little nervous, maybe a little cautious, All I can do is to tell my side of the story. Every since I was in pre-school (and before), I have been raised in a Christian home. I was expected to love Jesus and follow Him. I had no problem with that. In fact, I liked it a lot. As I matured in my Christianity, conviction and realization surrounded me as I dug deeper into how to really live my normal day-to-day life for Him. I knew I needed to be baptized - it’s commanded - and the longer I put it off, the more convicted I felt. As I was being dunked under that cleansing water, I was more convinced that I was saved through God’s grace. I now feel like I don’t have to worry about my relationship with God. I believe that before I was baptized, I had already given my life to God, and I was His. But now, after being baptized, everyone knows it - and that brings glory to God. ~Jessica
