洗礼的服务
Good afternoon FUMA family. We’ve had a great week here on campus! 没有什么比能够庆祝一个人追随耶稣的决定更令人兴奋的了. 本周早些时候,十大外围app有幸为13名做出这个决定的学员施洗.
十大外围app在星期三晚上举行了一个特别的全兵团服务来庆祝这个重要的时刻. 十大外围app的总统, Coggins上校在仪式开始时对浸信会教徒洗礼的意义做了详细的解释. 在十大外围app的传统中,洗礼是非常重要的,但它并不能拯救你. We are saved because of our faith in Jesus Christ. It is because of the work He did by dying on the cross for our sins. 你必须承认你的罪过, believing that Jesus is the Son of God, and receiving the forgiveness of the cross.
“If you declare with your mouth, “耶稣是主,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, 你会得救的. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
罗马书10:9 - 10
Baptism is the outward symbol of our inward faith. 这是十大外围app向世界宣告耶稣救了十大外围app的方式,无论他呼召十大外围app到哪里,十大外围app都将追随他. 这是一种公开的方式,让十大外围app认识到耶稣的死,因为十大外围app被淹没了;认识到耶稣复活,因为十大外围app在基督耶稣里获得新生命.
后坳. 考金斯说,Maj. Gary Leydig and I were honored to baptize these 13 young men. 学员牧师艾伦佐·巴勒斯(Elonzo Burroughs)在每位候选人入水时为他祈祷. 每个人都宣示了他对耶稣的信仰,并承诺终身做门徒,然后被复活进入新的生命.
Thank you for your prayers. 让他们来! God is doing great things here at Fork Union Military Academy. You can watch the full service here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v = IRaIwraC1EI&t=1445s
在基督里,
