Two received the Spirit a couple of weeks ago, today we baptized 5 of these ladies, I also baptized my oldest son (his feet were sticking up) he had some trouble with the whole process because the water was cold. We also baptized another youth.
Anyway a wonderful beginning and God is moving in our church.
yours truly teaching

To your earlier statement about being Charismatic, of course I leave labels to others, but on Sunday nights I do dress down, a Polo Shirt, Jeans and Alligator boots. Not quite shorts and sandals, but I like it.

Re: We Baptized 7 People Today!!!!! w pictures
Great report Keith! Congratulations on the baptisms.
Just sorry to see you head down that slippery slope of facial hair!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Keith, that's awesome.
BTW a good image editing program like PaintShop Pro can remove the Digital camera artifacts from the image (the blotchy stuff)
