What Does Your Church Say About Water Baptism ( Is It Relevant To Make Heaven)? by kyceeQ(f): 5:39pm On Feb 25, 2016 |
So I’ve never been water baptised.#coversface yeah…only baptised by the Holy spirit(proud to admit. So my darlings, If you haven’t been..get on board now. In fact, begin hold Jesus’ wrapper and demand for your own dosage o because believe me when I say you are missing! As in…I wish I have words for it. But just try and get Holy ghost baptised today! As far as I’m concerned, it is even all the upgrade you need) So at the time I became born again, being water baptised was all I wanted to do. My Aunties were getting baptised..people in the church were getting baptised. .so I didn’t want to be left out. Worse, the church I was attending at the time, made it so much of a big deal; like it was a requirement to make heaven and a sin if you don’t get water baptised. To them, If you weren’t baptized(even if you’ve been Holy ghost baptised) you do not get to partake in Holy communion. In other words, it was a requirement to partake in one of the most relevant and sacred doctrines we should partake in as Christians. It just felt so unfair because I wanted so badly to partake in it, so I signed up for the bible classes. According to the church, if you didn’t enrol in their bible classes, take their exams and passed, you will not be enlisted to be baptised. Hian! Protocol protocol protocol! As in, I didn’t gerrit! I started to wonder if Apostle Peter(or was it Paul? Me I don’t know again…) in the bible waited for the oga he baptised along the way to know all the scriptures in the bible before he batpised him. No be as the man confess Jesus as him lord and personal savior, Peter find river baptise am? So which one come be all that nau? But anyway, I put aside my grievances because I really wanted to partake in that Holy communion, so I signed up for the class but I ended up missing the exams because I had to return to school at the time. By the time I returned home, the water batpism had already been done and the story ended there. But I didn’t stop searching for a way to get baptised though. I kept going from one church to another seeking where to be baptised until I found one which didn’t make it a requirement. As a matter of fact, they were more concerned about their congregation getting Holy ghost batpised than being just water batpised. But what does your church say about this issue? Is it really important to get water baptised even though you’ve been baptised by the Holy Spirit? If a person isn’t water baptised, will they not make it to heaven? I mean, is it part of the qualifications to make heaven? Make I know whether na hell I dey go straight since I am still not water baptised. If your church doesnt have any doctrine about it, what’s your personal conviction about it? Looking forward to reading your thoughts. . . |

kyceeQ:1. Jesus Christ said except a man is born-again — born of water(marked as having abandoned the Old Way, and has begun following the New way) and born of the Spirit(of Eternal Life) — he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. ![]() A question I do have is this, what proof do you have that you are born of Spirit - John 3 vs 1 - 21- and are now born-again? ![]() |

scarletpearl:To be born again means to be born of water and born of Spirit(of Eternal Life). An order is not necessary specified by this as it is possible to be born of spirit, and then later born of water. ![]() |
