Dave had accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior several years ago but wanted to make the public declaration of his faith so others may see the work that Christ has done and is doing in his life. The baptism was held on Friday, May 4th 2007. I was baptised at this same event 2 years ago and I must say that it's a powerful experience for everyone who attends, not just those who are being baptized. It was an evening to praise the Lord and see the amazing work he's doing in our fellow Christ-followers' lives. Here's a few of the beautiful verses I pulled from NIV on God's view of baptism:
Acts 2:38
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:41
Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
