How Exactly Do You Baptize Someone In Water

Post #1

Post by Perspectivo »

I gave a woman a Chick Tract, which depicts a rather gruesome hellfire. She then identified as a Christian and asked me to baptize her in water. We went to a public swimming pool and I recited an incantation from the Chick Tract, and instructed her to submerge by squatting. Did I baptize her correctly?

Only to tell others that you are now a member of the Christian faith. Water baptism is an external announcement to fellow members. Holy Spirit baptism is all that matters.

Jesus said people should baptize this way:

Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teach-ing them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Matt. 28:19-20

If you did that, I think you have done correctly.
