Three things I learned yesterday during our baptismal service:
one:
Water makes people lighter
two:
Some people should not be asked if they have something to say before they take the plunge
three:
God doesn't keep a list of people who signed up to be baptised
After only 30 people signed up to be baptised, Pastor and I (and Bro. Noe) dunked almost 80 people in a service that lasted well over 3 hours. I'm glad God doesn't keep a list of baptism candidates. Had He, I wouldn't have been as touched by the genuiness of His people.
