"A young man who wishes to remain a sound Atheist cannot be too careful of his reading. There are traps everywhere--'Bibles laid open, millions of surprises,' as Herbert says, 'fine nets and stratagems.' God is, if I may say it, very unscrupulous."

I posted, two Easters ago, about our son Blake, then seven, becoming a Christian.

Today he was baptised! I was privileged to be the one who baptised him.

Below are some pictures.

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

www.americanlegends.info

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
David

How do you "become a Christian" before baptism?
Baptism is the point of salvation according to the holy scriptures.
