May 31, 2003: Biblically BAPTIZED

Baptism - A sacrament or a membership initiation?
Actually it’s a command of God. An act of obedience of a believer who desires to obey his Lord.

Baptism doesn't make a Christian. But a Christian needs to be baptized. It’s a step that needs to be taken by an individual who already had a full understanding of it, next to having assurance of salvation. A phase, if being understood and lived by, would take into effect and make a lifetime difference. Old life buried and new life begins. Being dead to sin and alive to Christ!

And this day, I decided to follow, and will never be turning back. I am aware that things are not gonna be the same, especially being the only follower in the family. Stormy and rocky path surely awaits me; even so, I am with my sweet Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my ray of sunshine in every endeavor from this time forth and forevermore.

My rollercoaster ride has just begun!

Romans 6:3~4
“Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,

just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,
we too may live a new life.”
