Some of you all are being so disrespectful about this. Being Baptized is nothing to make fun of or make jokes about. I know you probably think you're just being funny and clever but it really is a serious, spiritual event. If you don't believe in it, that is one thing, but to make light of it or make fun of it is another. Just be respectful of others?
Oh, and in before....... "don't be so uptight"

That is the most important decision in life.
to clarify, the most important decision was salvaiton in the Lord Jesus Christ.
the baptism is important because it shows obedience to Christ, and is a public act to identify oneself with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In case anyone was wondering, the posters are referring to the decision of salvation as the most important. Baptism, or any other work, can not get anyone to heaven.
Just wanted to make a clarification. I never said he would mind. Never said it's something he'd want to keep private. Never said it would be something that he would be ashamed of people knew. Never said it was a good or bad thing.
The only thing I said was that he might be surprised if he logged onto a message board and saw a thread dedicated to his baptism.
Got baptized last night at the walk, couldn't make it there but heard it was pretty cool. Thought it would be cool to share with y'all, some other good news other than football! Congrats to him! Hopefully he will tear it up on the field as well this year.
If Curt graduated with honors in engineering or pre-med and it was talked about on this thread would you be surprised?
This is the greatest decision anyone can make because this cements your eternity. As a born again christian Curt should know his new mission is to tell the good news to the world and if this is how it is told then it is a great thing.
God Loves.
