Baptism

At The Mission, we don’t do baptism like some religious ritual.  I believe it is a means of grace and that requires me to conduct baptisms in faith.  So when I get in the waters of baptism I need to hear God and discern what is happening around me.

Last night I heard a young woman tell that she did not experience anything in her baptism till the third dunk.  After that she felt free and has been happy ever since.

I could have done the religious thing, got folks wet and told them that’s all there is, or I can take a little risk, operate in faith, and wait for God to anoint the waters.  We do the later and it works out pretty well for us.
