Not your average Mormon
Hi, Preist.corrupt_preist said:the conclusion i reached
it doesn't matter, what matters is that it is my commitment to God and to Christ, they care about me, not which pool i decide to get splahsed in
I think your commitment to God and to Christ is the most important thing.
But I find it odd that you don't believe it matters who baptizes you or how they do it. It apparently mattered to Jesus. He went specifically to John, who had the authority to perform this sacred ordinance. Why don't you think He just stopped someone outside of His house and said to them, "Hey, come in here a minute, will you? I just drew some water out of my family's well. Could you sprinkle some on me, please? I'll tell you the words I want you to say. See, I'm really busy and my Father won't care who does it or how it's done."
I mean, why are you being baptized in the first place? If you don't care about who, where, or how, why do you even see it as important at all? I mean God does know the condition of your heart already. What will being dunked or sprinkled do for you? Just some food for thought, and please don't think I'm not happy that you've decided to get baptized. I just think it would be a good idea for you to stop to consider why you're doing it -- in light of why the scriptures say you should be doing it.
