**Go to a local Catholic Church and be baptized by a real priest or better yet, a Franciscan monk.**
Better yet, a Jesuit...it’s the premium blessing and will have more standing. ;)

My younger daughter did a beach baptism and the waves were really big that day. Thankfully there were no issues with anyone getting swept out to sea.

Forget the Greeks. Do what the early Christians did when they worshipped.

Maybe it’s not about being “more scriptural” and just a place that’s convenient. I live near the beach and there are no decent rivers or streams nearby. This place up near Santa Barbara may be the same way.

I'll stick with the biblical description of John the Baptist and Jesus....early enough?

Even better stick with his instructions to Peter.

A s tragedy on what should be a joyful occasion. Buck up it could be worse, you could have worked with this line I tried to take him out. He was heavy and then another big wave came.

“Go to a local Catholic Church and be baptized by a real priest or better yet, a Franciscan monk.”
A real priest? So, would you have us to believe that Protestant ministers aren’t qualified to perform valid baptisms?
The validity of a baptism depends on the believer’s faith in God and his need to obey God’s commands (such as baptism as a requisite for salvation), not the “realness” of the person doing the baptism.
Just suppose that a “real” priest performed a baptism, and then later that day did some heinous act; was the baptism of the believer invalidated by the priest’s sinful act? No, of course not! The validity of baptism comes from the believer’s faith, not the priest’s authority.

Very moving post. I hadn’t thought about how my levity might be viewed by family members.

The mandate was given not to any “pastor” but to Peter and his successors and the Church founded on the rock “Petrus” whose name was changed by Christ Himself.

“Go to a local Catholic Church and be baptized...”
Yup, sprinkled with waters from the ‘Jordan’ or other holy water in the baptismal fount, just like John baptized Jesus...

Hey, Blowhard, read the damn story. Joe quoted the story verbatim. Without comment...
Maybe someone can show up at one of your loved one’s funeral and be an insensitive Blowhard.

Why on earth would a minister perform baptism anywhere near such dangerous surf? Doesn’t sound like a real leader of a church.
