baptism

This is a video of Jake Benton being baptized. The story is....hope this is accurate... Jake has been a friend of Clay and Blaine since before they were born again. Clay asked Jake, 'how can someone be saved from the wrath of God'. Jake did not know, so Clay shared Acts 16:30-31--"he brought them out and said, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved'...then they spoke the word of the Lord to him...". So Clay met up with Jake and walked him through the word, preaching the gospel to him. The next night, at a college meeting, the gospel was shared again and Jake believed. So, like the Ethiopian in Acts 8:36-37 and the jailer in Acts 16:30-33, Clay and Blaine took him the same hour of the night and baptized him. Praise the Lord!

To Jake:
"Today you have proclaimed the Lord to be your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and that you will obey His voice. Also today the Lord has proclaimed you to be His special people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His commandments, and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken."
---Deut 26:17-19
"For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul." --Hebrews 10:37-39
"At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy...." ---Titus 3:3-5

To all:
Seek first the kingdom of God....the kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground...the seed is the word of God. (Mt 6:33, Mk 4:26, Lk 8:11)

"The word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region...The word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed..." --Acts 13:49, Acts 19:20
