Get Baptized! Baptism by water is mentioned many, many times in the New Testament. Jesus, Himself, was baptized, by John the Baptist. Many Christians feel it is so important that you cannot properly receive Jesus into your heart without being baptized! The best way is to be baptized outdoors, in a real stream or river, by a Spirit-filled minister called by the Lord to perform baptisms. - You will confess out loud that Jesus is your Lord and Savior. - You will ask the Lord out loud to forgive your many sins. Then the minister will dunk you into the water, covering up your head, then bring you out again. The dunking and coming out represent Christ's death on the cross (burrial) and resurrection. The water, particularly if it is flowing, represents the washing away of your sins. After it is over, you are a full-fledged Christian without any doubt! The Holy Spirit will be with you, full strength. God bless you!
