A Valid Baptism?

Aaron, do you consider this to be absolute? Are there no circumstances in which such a baptism could be invalid?

 

I never gave it much thought over baptism, but if a friend of mine were to accept Jesus and be saved, say at the municipal swimming pool, and I was the one who lead him to the Lord in the sinners prayer, I'd ask him if we could baptize him right there in the pool! Phillip did! As I read the the Great Commission in Matt 28: 19, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. NKJV Yup it don't say anything about it being any one of the cloth having to baptize anyone! So I guess I can as I see fit! Very cool indeed!

 

Dear Jim,
You are thinking like Pat Boone now. Phillp had authority from his local church to perform this ordiance. About the idea Doccas of excepting brethren baptism, the old order, dunkers, grace brethern. They all have the mode wrong. You don't baptize people forward on their faces. Baptism shows the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. You don't bury people on their faces. You don't dig someone up three times to bury them. The mode is under one time in the name of the father,son, Holy Ghost. So our Baptist Church would not accept them. I growed up in the brethern church and I have family of t his demomnation. They are conservative but they are off on the ordiances of the church by bible standards.
