You are correct sir. I was baptized in the GI swimming pool at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam. I thought it was a strange place for that to happen, but it was hot that day, so I was more than willing to do it. 😂 The point is, however, that I was saved 6 months before that.

You were Baptized as an infant in the Catholic church....that pretty much took care of the whole Baptism requirement....and it was a lot more than 6 months earlier.

All that does is get the child wet and make the parents fell good.

There are no recorded instances of infant baptism in the NT.

And the baptism is not what saves you....it's the faith in Jesus that saves you. Baptism is being obedient in following His example of being baptized.

How do you know? I doubt you were there. I was too young to know if my parents did that or not. I was too young to make a decision for Christ, and if I had a choice about it, I would have told them not to do me like that, because I did not want any fake indelible mark on my soul. Ders too many fake indelible marks goin on out der. 😎 Besides, judging from the time of year, it was cold, and all they succeeded in doing, was make me shiver. 😂🇵🇭 I didn't like being in Vietnam much, but it was a beautiful thing, to be baptized in the swimming at Bien Hoa Air Base. Everyone should try it. 😇
