spontaneous baptism

A very cool weekend at West Ridge Church--103 people were baptized and 51 people accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour for the first time. Not to mention Brian's arm workout from baptizing so many people, we were blown away at the response to a spontaneous baptism! Brian shared about the early church in Acts and how people trusted Christ and immediately afterward followed Him in baptism, not to get themselves to heaven, but rather, to show that after trusting Christ, they wanted to declare their faith in Him to the world and be a follower of Christ.

People poured down the front of the church in response!!! You know you can preach your heart out, have the best music and the most friendly church, but if God is not moving in peoples' hearts, potentially no one will experience life change. That is why when something like this happens, we are so excited to give God the glory, as only He can change peoples' lives--and that's what this is all about! How cool to be a part of a church where God IS moving and CHANGING LIVES!!!
