At this point, I'm thinking about getting baptized this Sunday. I've listened to Patrick discuss the Bible's position and even chatted with him on the topic to get my specific questions answered (based on his interpretation). He explained (and I agreed) that in order to be biblically accurate, a baptism must include confession - something I was too young to have been able to do when I was baptized as an infant. Importantly, I've slowly come to agree with the Church of Christ doctrine - the emphasis on the authority of the Bible. I'll always have a soft spot for Catholicism, but the Church of Christ fulfills all that which I valued from Catholicism and expands on it. And for a multitude of reasons, I feel that at this time in my life I need to reaffirm my commitment to God and Jesus. I'm fasting and praying until Sunday to make sure this is what I am supposed to do. If it is, there are only three people I can think of that I really want to be there.
:)
Keep me in mind and prayers, please.
