Lindsey and Charlie get baptized

Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave His charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: GO out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the three fold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I will be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up till the end of the age.”
-The Message Bible

Today Lindsey and Charlie were baptized; this is something that we have discussed with them for some time now. We have explained that this is a public demonstration or there salvation and an act of obedience. The Fulford family has allowed our church to perform baptisms in their pool for many years with the stipulation that afterwards the filters would need to be cleaned! (Wouldn’t want all that sin to clog the filters now would we) LOL
We are confidant that this decision that they have made will become more significant as they grow in the Lord and realize His cleansing power.
