Opis

And now, dear brethren and sisters, the hour has come for you to be baptized. As you have gladly received His word, I would have you joyfully obey His command. I never shall forget the day I was baptized. Oh, dear friends, if you could ever know (God grant you may never know it experimentally) the horrors of hell through which I passed in my infidelity, then you might know the joy of my conversion, when I saw my Redeemer, when I fell at His feet and said in my heart: "Lord, tell me what to do, I'll do it without a question." So when I took His Book and read about baptism I went to the church and asked to make a statement. They gathered around me to hear. I told my experience and asked to be baptized. Lovingly they received me and we went down to old Davidson Creek, in Burleson County, and there an old schoolmate, W.W. Harris, called the Spurgeon of Texas, baptized me. As I went down into the water I thought of Christ's burial and my own future burial. I saw myself cold in death. I thought of Christ's triumphant resurrection. I felt in mind the earthquake shock and heard the chains of the terrible one bound to His chariot. The supernal glory of His demonstrated divinity illumined my heart. I thought of my own future resurrection, and trumpet sound, the waking dead, the white throne of judgment, and my place at His right hand; my heart overflowed with love and joy and peace. I can see it all now; time does not dim the picture. So I would have you to be baptized.
