When I wanted to be baptized at the Washington church by Pastor Van Horn there were sessions I agreed to do with him so he would be able to tell if I was ready or wait a few more years. Trust me, you could not hoax him!
His main question was “why”
I gave suitable answers but not the “one” he was waiting for. After reading scripture, praying and our talks I finally told Pastor I loved Jesus Christ and I wanted to give him my heart. I said baptism was Biblical to show the people of your commitment but I had come to realize it was not my only way to heaven.
I reread this article and have a different view.

I was baptized in two weeks!
