I always comment about the number 13 as it was my baby baptism day. So did I become a youth then? hahaha baptised into sin? Well I was not taught that haha Daddy said it was a dedication to the Lord, basically showing the heart of the parents with the strong desire that their child would be raised with the knowledge of the Lord. For this reason godparents were chosen, worthy of such a task if anything would happen to them. The godparent was agreeing with them and their job was to ensure that instruction and knowledge did continue. So really a baptism is a confession and belief of the parent's people, when you think about it. With the 4 in agreement 2 x 2? The pastor a witness of the joined hearts of the adults dedicates then the child to the Lord. Well in talking with Daddy about it...this more how it came out with me. So even though I was not in church it still a desire of my heart as I was doing this myself wanted it done. The church not a member was I, at time of Joshua, but raised in that denomination but MO Synod agreed to do this for us Bob and I it was important to me, Bob in agreement. Should any pastor provide this? To me yes all should even if not a member. It should not matter what denomination...or if a member, it is a parent's right to ask a request and witnesses there of, of the unity in belief of the Lord. You would think any pastor on this planet would love to see 2 parents hearts in agreement on this people. Yet the church's have wiped it out. They got what they did!!! No confession of parents in agreement by doing it. They got more divoiced untrained children in the Lord. So I ask you.. who really was it that removed Almighty from the child to begin with? not the schools and prayer people. The so called church's. No eyes to see, repent for such blame government for what a nation standing on the church, who took agreement of knowledge of the Lord out of the picture for hearts agreeing as parents? Am I judging? It is my job like it or not. We permit heads of church's that are not what was sent a prophet. Business men are chosen with knowledge of the Lord not one directed of the Lord. So a congregation witness of baptism...should be a praise and thanking of the Lord that parents 2 hearts in agreement for their child. So you tell me how many church's is this people? I was not in one or a member got it done. You should not be forced to be a member of anything. Where is that even written? So with Daddy's explanation to me I made my choice leaving the church when I got married. Both my children were baptized. Not in a church, my husband stood with me in agreement to it.
My big brother told me not to long ago, he did not believe in baptism. I was shocked but didn't say what type? Well the reason I didn't say that is because to my knowledge none of their children were baptized in the Lutheran Church which both of them were raised in. They had come out and become part of the Assembly of God groupies. So had several in the family people. Con and Larry's children went to their private schools in Indiana. Michael got cancer in one of his shoulders I forget what arm. Chuck saying that to me meant then as an adult I guess... I was shocked.. was he better than Messiah who did it? What example was he following? I know Carey did get baptized in a river there in FL don't know by whom.. but talked to him, he said well Messiah did it.. so felt the need to follow. If Chuck wouldn't get baptized and I know Daddy did 3 times, find out shit want the shit off him. Led to different ministries he was till baptized by that one in Israel in the Jordan River together with mom.
Daddy and mom felt when they got there they were home. He couldn't explain the feeling to me. I asked Bob to take me there and he said NO. So tried to get Con to go with me and that no happen.
Was my family basically out of the church then? Yes pretty much we were more grown them still there as still had young sons raising to finish. Now my questioning came more then when out and totally moved even though we never attended my church did Bob and I. My heart still did question Daddy and that was more my understanding from him. I askered people you need to understand when something on my heart not in scripture really I askered my daddy. If you askered him he would tell any person same. When something is on your heart and really no see in scripture I askered. Any one of my siblings could have done the same but did they ask? Words used should be to Almighty God our Father!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Same nation did use someone knew something of a difference people using Almighty God or God Almighty why was it changed???????????????? To my knowledge I am the only sibling to do this coming out of the church when married. Question then to any and all my siblings even...there is probably not one marriage within my siblings that any person would have not stood to do the same together, not one. David would have stood with Cheri on it I just know he would have they did things the way raised we were even with Cheri butting heads with Daddy. Because of Cheri's attitude re daddy, daddy made sure they were baptized without her knowledge. He did it himself in Cline lake on one of her visits. Daddy feeling the need to step in for his grandchildren there. He felt the need there to take it to Almighty God to cover them and Daddy's seed there. He was not concerned about his other grandchildren being raised in the knowledge of. To my knowledge only Connie and myself had any babies baptized. Connie had Michael and Matthew before they came out of the church. Myself having both sons done with my husband in agreement not being in the church at all really. I myself am probably the only one to ask Daddy as it was on my heart and not really understood by me why they even do it. On my heart from Almighty? or man?
I asked Cheri just a few days ago today being 12-4-2022 if she ever asked her children if they remember their grandpa doing this in Cline Lake she didn't even ask them if they remembered it.
Anyway found this sitting as lots of things would so posting it.
