The Gift of Baptism

The Gift of Baptism - To save mankind. Kids who are 8 years old are baptized for they know what is right and what is wrong. They are capable to repent of their shortcomings or sins.

I really miss so much doing the ordinance of bapism. The last time I did was my youngest son, Toto Jun. It was in 1994 when he turned 8 years old.

And I did it awhile ago with Angel, who is only daugher of Rose. Rose is the best friend of our third elder daughter when they worked together in abroad before.

I have recalled the happiness I had had when I baptized my son. The same joy and happiness I have felt. Baptism by immersion is one of the basic truth about the Church. It is a gateway to one's salvation.

In the Church, we the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel. First principle is faith. Second is repentance. And next is baptism, an ordinance performed by the person with authority of the priesthood. Last ordinance is the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

This is what we believe and I know you have different faith or doctrines and principles about salvation, about baptism, about the gospel of Jesus Christ. But I do believe it is in Jesus' name that mankind may be saved.
