Baptism Discussion

"...not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing or regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:5

Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall not be saved..."





I thought I'd share on here the background to the motivation for getting our children baptised. The link will take you to a note written on Facebook on November 17, 2009.






This past year we have been studying Orthodoxy, and have decided to become Orthodox. We have found that it is truly what we believe, what we've been searching for a church to teach for the 10 years we've been married. In doing so, we were Christmated and the children were baptised in November. What a HAPPY day! It came as a surprise to many of our friends and family, but rest assured, more of you are Orthodox than you think! All it takes is some reading and you will find it is exactly what you've been trying to put the Christian faith into words for all your life!
