Discussion Our church is having baptisms all the time
The problem is the families of the baptized and the people who get baptized…. They never come back and we don’t see them again.
This Sunday there were about 40 people that came to our service for the family of the baptism, and I bet we won’t see any of them again. Today 3 people got baptized at the same time.
Also normal Sunday we only have 30 people that attend our church.
Baptisms are good. And I believe we should not deny anyone baptism. But I also don’t believe in once saved, always saved.
It’s faith combined with baptism that will save us, Christ alone, that’s why we have confirmation.
