OK, I didn’t heed the warning and I watched in stunned disbelieve that this is how the Baptists treat the sacrament of baptism? Wow! Isn’t this a tad too casual for something so sacred?
Call me old-fashioned but I like baptisms in the church with a little sprinkling and much more reverence and a sense of the shared responsibility of the congregation as we welcome the new covenant child into the community. And yes, we do baptize adults and those baptisms can be quite moving as well.
BTW, shouldn’t the pastor have turned the other check when he got cannonballed? 🙂
