Water, water everywhere...

I attended a memorial service today. My Granny's BEST friend (40 years of being best friends!) passed away.

And though I wasn't surprised about what I heard from this particular denomination's pastor, my eyes were opened to the fact that I really believe everyone pretty much believes what I believe.

Wow!

Everyone does NOT believe what I believe.

So as the words "baptized into the church" were being said over and over throughout his message...I just prayed. Prayed hard.

People, Jesus is the only way to get to heaven. Period.

If you got wet to join a church, you've missed it.

If you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, been baptized by water and spirit...then you will NEVER be the same.

If you've never been MADE new...then you aren't new...you're just a new member.

I'm tired of living like everyone knows this. Because it's obvious to me that people do not know this. And some know this and reject it, and that's fine with me. You choose that. But if people don't know this and they die thinking that a little water in a church baptistery is going to save them from hell, then I've failed in the ONE mission Christ has given me.
