    Does baptism.... either by immersion or by sprinkling..... change you?

    If so... how does baptism change you?

    My theory is that there is a spark within all eight billion of us.......

    that is like a connection to eleven higher invisible dimensions of space and time.......

    it is this spirit of ours that floats outside our bodies during a near death experience.....

    and reviews every detail of our lives........
    I believe that baptism.... especially by full immersion under water.......

    connects our human spirit... our spark from our Creator...... with Messiah Yeshua - Jesus in a special way!


    Russell Brand announces he will be baptized this Sunday – but he still has this question
    Russell, you said you’re curious as to what we, who have been baptized, feel about our baptism. How we feel comes directly from what we think and believe about baptism.


    I was baptized by immersion by a Worldwide Church of God minister back in 1979.... then rebaptized by .... a pastor who was a part of the Sacred Name Movement...... then rebaptized for a third time by a gifted Pentecostal or Charismatic Catholic Pastor from eastern Canada.

    My wife had something of a Baptism of Fire when Pastor Carol Arnott prayed for her last summer......

    Wow..... I've had some Korean students of English as a Second Language........ [but in their particular case I think I was teaching them English as their sixth or seventh language]........!!!!

    Koreans are astonishing!!!!!!!!!

    They were a brother and a sister and they were so astonishingly intelligent and accomplished at ten to twelve years of age......

    that I was in awe!

    Korean Christians are some of the most knowledgeable on this third rock.......

    in my opinion anyway........





    Note... my wife met Pastor Carol Arnott in the summer of 2023.....

    and it seems like a fallen angel attempted to kill my wife as were driving to that meeting.......

    my wife felt like she was dying......

    and she knew what dying felt like from her second pregnancy........

    she prayed and asked our daughter to pray for her by phone but did not tell me because she was worried that I might move too quickly since we were on the 403......

    then she spoke in tongues......

    and whatever was hitting her left her... and she was fine... and when Pastor Carol Arnott prayed for my wife... she fell on the floor....... and spoke in tongues...... and laughed some..... [if I remember correctly]!
