It was so wonderful. I had to give a testimony in church. I kept on having to stop to take a deep breath as the tears were threatening to come pouring out into the ugly cry. After that the minister jumped into the pool clothes and all (no shoes) and baptised me in the name of the Son, the Father and the Holy Spirit. I then had a few people at my house for a celebration. It feels good, I know that for me it was the right decision.
I got baptised yesterday!

I hope you keep some close friends for the rest of your days. In my opinion if baptism gets you that then it has served its purpose. Only the rest of your days will tell! I wish you well!

I'm so glad to hear that.
Faith in God is nothing of which to be ashamed.
Peace and love on your Christian walk.

How wonderful for you!
And how important it IS to realize that your baptism and relationship with God is NOT contingent upon the written opinions and whims of delusional old men in Brooklyn-----but on a personal relationship between you and Him, the way it should be!

Congratulations Mrs Smith.
I saw a baptism where the person being baptised gave their own testimony - it was great, it seemed so relaxed and no pressure on anyone.
