When I was younger I believed in the Lord. As I got older I realised that wasnt enough so I started reading the Bible. The more I learnt from the Bible, the more I realised that reading it wasnt enough so I startef going to church. I attended a few over the space of 6 years before I found the right one for me. it is truly amazing and it came to be the foundation of my week. Then (you can see where this is going!) I realised attending church wasnt enough and I needed to be baptised. today was the day. Since they announced the date, the devil has put me right at the top of his 'to-do' list. I have been through so much in the last 2 weeks. But I got there and I'm here now. Today was really important to me. I don't really know who to tell. My two best friends are either Muslim or Athiest so worlds apart from me in regards to this. I dont know what else to say really other than...IM SAVED! Grin

You were saved anyway, because Jesus already fixed it for you. Bit I am glad you are pleased.

Congratulations :) I was baptised a few months ago and it was amazing. I've the past couple of years my relationship with God has grown and grown, particularly since my baptism. I feel it's a great opportunity to publicly declare your love for God, a bit like a wedding.
And yes, the baptism isn't what saved you but the knowledge that you're saved and forgiven and loved in an awesome way is pretty great Grin
