"Repent and be baptized..." - Acts 2:38

Kaleb and Meghann before their baptism down by the river.


Kaleb and Meghann were baptized yesterday on September 3rd, 2007. It was a glorious day to see my two oldest children baptized into the Christian faith. I have been talking to them quite a bit lately about their faith and challenging them to examine themselves to see if they are in the faith. I can testify that their confession is a true biblical confession of faith and I praise God for calling them into His glorious kingdom!

Bob Jennings comments on baptism in his book "Written Briefly" as he writes...

"Baptism is a beautiful ordinance. First, it signifies the BURIAL of the old sinful self and the RAISING UP of a new man in Christ upon true conversion, a miraculous work of the hand of God (Colossians 2:12). Second, it signifies the WASHING away of sins (Acts 22:16). Third, it is the 'INITIATION CEREMONY' into the church of Christ (Acts 2:41), testifying to the watching world that the candidate has forsaken the company of sinners to side off with the saints."
