I have decided that it is necessary to be baptized in Jesus name only... wait a minute... Just kidding. No, after prayer and some inspiration from some different brothers and sisters I have decided to get baptized. Even though I was baptized when I was 14 or 15 after "accepting" Jesus, I have decided that I would be perfectly in order to follow the biblical pattern; and that is to repent and then be baptized. While many have tried to say that I had always been saved, and perhaps others believe that I could have been saved and then lost it and then got saved again... I am with the blind man and many others when I say, "I do know this, I once was blind, but now I see." There is no question in my mind that something radically changed on November 15, 2003. I was in darkness even though I claimed to see. I feel honored that my pastor will be baptizing me as he is the one who delivered the sermon on Hebrews 6 that was used by God to wake me from the dead. When I came to him about getting baptized not too long ago, I was very surprised and relieved to find that he had done the same thing, as a young pastor even! He too had realized he needed to repent of much and felt he got the order backwards; repent then be baptized. Please pray for me as I will be able to share a little bit before getting dunked. Even though most have heard my testimony, it still took a while for HBKS and TnFC to really hit me too. There will be lots of people there.
