That's good to know, this is another step of Faith, just think about when Jesus was baptized by John, the heavens opened and God said ';This is my Son in whom I am well pleased'; , God would probably say '; This is my child ,in whom I am well pleased';.Christian family: I'm getting baptized tomorrow!! What do you think? Any words of advice?
Everyone of us wanted God to approve us and hear the words ';well done thou good and faithful servant...';
To god be the Glory!

Congratulations- our church is having baptism tomorrow , and it is always one of my favorite times, because I love to hear and see the testimony of God through people who follow Him in baptism. The only words that I have for you is this- ';may this be the beginning of a deeper more intimate relationship with Christ';. I am excited for you- I remember the day I was baptized- it was wonderful.
I was baptized not long ago as well. It's great that you feel the calling to get baptized and make it seen to everyone that you have committed yourself to Jesus. There will be great rejoicing in heaven tomorrow.
Congratulations on your big day! My only advice is to take some dry clothes with you and understand fully what this means before you go through it or you might have to do it twice like I and many others had to do. :]
I think it is Great you are a new Beliver in Christ Jesus I am a Christain myself just pray to him and keep the Faith and walk with him daily and you will Grow in him daily I am happy for you Congatulations!
That's great! I'm so happy for you, and I hope you have a wonderful, blessed day.
I havent actually been baptised yet.. something I'm looking forward to in the near future.

That's fantastic! Praise God!
I was Baptized a little over a year ago, and it was a wonderful experience.
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So happy for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy for you.
Congratulations! How wonderful for you! One word of advice- relax and enjoy it! From this point on, you will be on the road to maturity in Christ. If you are really serious about your decision, then make the most of your decision for the Lord, and begin to immerse yourself in the word. A lot of Christians get started and slack off after awhile. But don't let your love grow cold. Get involved in Bible studies, surround yourself with Christian friends. Get to church as much as possible so that you can learn God's word. There is SO much to learn! I have been a Christian 35 years and I am still learning. It takes a long time to mature in Christ.
Don't become legalistic. Remain teachable. Spend a lot of time with the Lord and He will teach you what being a Christian really is. Above all, keep your eyes on Jesus. Men will let you down. Christians aren't perfect- just forgiven. We fail, but Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He's the only one you can truly trust, and He's our example. Model your life after Him, not other Christians, and you'll please the Lord.
I am very excited for you, because this is obviously something you want. I remember my baptism and how free I felt, like my old self was shed in that water and new me was put in it's place.
Since that time I have fallen into some old habits and things, but I can always look back to that day and remember that this world has no hold over me.
Romans 6:1-4
1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
I love all of Romans 6, it speaks about baptism and how we can die to sin and live a new life.
