Wow, everyone in the first 3 rows got baptized. That's why Baptists tend to sit toward the back of the church.

It makes glad to be a Presbyterian.

See, Infants can't do that...and it's a wee bit difficult to cannonball into a bowl

Loved how the pastor announced that it was not only the first time, but he would guarentee it being the LAST time.

True

He handled this VERY well...

I can only imagine the parent's thoughts. This is going to be one of those..."I'm going to have to have a long, long talk with that Boy"...

Looks like two PB members disputing the mode of baptism, one favoring immersion and one sprinkling.

Since I presume the trinitarian formula was used, was the pastor technically rebaptized. And, if he had already been baptized in a Presbyterian church as an infant, was he re-rebaptized?

The $64 question is, was this evidence of a broken heart and contrite spirit, or was this evidence of a stony-ground hearer who 'recieved the word with joy'?

I can't imagine the parents' reaction; though if the kid has been raised this immaturely, the parents deserve the grief they'll get.
