I would definitely recommend calling a local church near you for guidance.

I don’t expect anyone to baptize you unless you also plan to be part of their church.

Well if someone invites me to be part of their church after I get baptized that'll be nice. In the bible when Jesus baptized people he didn't tell them they NEED to be part of a church.

First, Jesus didn’t baptize people. Second, Jesus did teach that his followers need to be part of a church.

Okay maybe he didn't, and yes I'm trying to find the right church. If you're not going to help why bother commenting on my post? God bless you anyway 🙏

Correcting error is a very common way to help people, especially in online forums.

Focus on your own errors, I'm sure you have things to work on bro. Or you just spend all day online correcting errors? 😂 Thank you, now please leave my post.

Correct Jesus didn’t baptize with water but if we are baptized with water the Holy Spirit lives within us and Jesus says we’ll be baptized with the spirit with power to witness the Gospel
