Suamico United Methodist Church

Now when the persecution is over and the church tries to come back together again, who do you trust? Did that pastor who recanted Jesus during a terrible moment of pain, does that mean all the baptisms that that pastor did now are null and void because, well, we don't know if we can trust that pastor anymore. I'm sorry, but if the power of baptism comes down to the holiness of the pastor, I think we are all in trouble. Baptism is not about us. Baptism is about God. God is doing all the work in baptism. Baptism is a free gift of grace and salvation given by God to anyone who says yes.
