Baptism

I talked about my daughter's Baptism. Here are the photo's from there.
I am also going to give a short testimony about it.

Casey thought she had gotten saved a couple of years ago. I really thought she was saved as well. She had a transformation from the old girl to a new girl. She was so different. She was more obedient to her father and I. She read her bible more, she was just good.
Then one Sunday morning, Valerie from church gave a small testimony about her salvation. She had thought she was saved. She had the knowledge. It was all in her head. She knew Christ, but she did not KNOW Christ in her heart. Casey realized that she shared the same testimony. Casey agonized over her salvation almost the entire week.  She was not 100% sure that if she were to die she would have a home in Heaven. She was scared. She talked with our Pastor, as well as the myself and her dad all week.
That Thursday evening after dinner, after she had talked with pastor and he gave her a great faith based analogy about a chair. She realized she too had just had the head knowledge of Christ. She had Him in her head, but not in her heart. That night, she and I read in our bibles and prayed. She accepted Christ in her heart.
     The next step after salvation is Baptism. Baptism is not salvation. Baptism will not save you. It is an obedience step that Christians should take after their salvation. Casey took that step. The water was not even room temp, it was chilly. As Pastor stated, it was clingy. LOL. 

The above photo's are from her Baptism, Valerie and Jessica also had their Baptisms. Jessica was the smart one, she went first. She got to dry off with a dry towel. Casey was last and had a wet one to dry off with. Only one of them brought a towel. Casey.

If you do not know Christ as your personal Savior, and want to know how to know him, leave a comment. If you are not 100% sure that you are going to heaven, again leave a comment.
