Preparing for Baptism

“So those who gladly received his word were baptized…” (Acts 2:41)

We thank God that even today, He continues to save sinners! And this means that those who are saved will desire to express and testify to their commitment to Christ through water baptism. This is the subject of our brief appeal to the church.

Recently, an interview was held with all those who desire to receive water baptism. All members of our local church who wished to attend were invited to this meeting with the elders and those wishing to be baptized. We want to thank everyone who was there. We are glad that you care for the church this way!

But your involvement, dear GFC members, does not end there. We would like you to take two more important additional steps in participating in and helping to build up our church!

First, below is a list of everyone who is preparing to receive water baptism. Please take time to pray for these brothers and sisters. Pray that it would be a very thoughtful and carefully considered step in their lives. Pray that through their testimony, many more will hear about the Lord’s power to save sinners.

Second, as you look over the list of these brothers and sisters, if you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to approach either those who are preparing for baptism or the elder of the church. It is very important that the testimony or faith of these brothers and sisters does not create confusion or raise questions for anyone. If there are questions, we should take time to look into the issue and resolve the matter before the day of baptism.
