Last Saturday I went to church with my wife (as I do every other Saturday to try and keep peace), and it was the day 4 people were being baptized. What an event that was. Anyway, before the actual baptism, there were about 10 or so things the 4 people at the front of the room had to say they agreed with / believed in. Such things as never having a drink, belief in the Remnant Church, and the Spirit of Prophecy, belief in the 10 C's, among others. Anyone know what are the "standard" initiation questions asked at the baptismal ceremony, or was this the pastor doing this on his own? The first few questions he asked sort of lull you to sleep thinking " that is ok, that is ok." Then the alarm goes off by the time he got to the 4th or 5th question. I thought we were baptized into Christ's death and resurrection... My adventist wife told me she had "never seen that done at an adventist church before." Any thoughts? |
