Today was Remember your Baptism Sunday! The liturgy of remembrance is some of the richest writing in the Christian faith. Our message therefore on why it’s important who we are in Christ is only about 12 mins. However, we invite you to read the questions below we asked our 4 who asked their Baptism to be remembered, and the congregation who joined them. The world is competing hard for the loyalty of Christians right now. Today was a great day because with our vows, we told the world in all its troubles that we care, but our Master Jesus Christ has carried our curse for us, and doesn’t share power!
On behalf of the whole Church, I ask you:
Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness,
reject the evil powers of this world,
and repent of your sin?
I do.
Do you accept the freedom and power God gives you
to resist evil, injustice, and oppression
in whatever forms they present themselves?
I do.
Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior,
put your whole trust in his grace,
and promise to serve him as your Lord,
in union with the Church which Christ has opened
to people of all ages, nations, and races?
I do.
According to the grace given to you,
will you remain faithful members of Christ's holy Church
and serve as Christ's representatives in the world?
I will.
