Re: R the baptisms on the "Bam!!..thread acceptabl
Some may be acceptable as adaquate baptism, but if I had any say in the matter I would not allow that hocus pocus junk which accompanies some of those baptisms.
So acceptable to who and for what purpose?

Re: R the baptisms on the "Bam!!..thread acceptabl
I would like to say they may be valid to God but not so much to man... There appears to be much foolishness that has potential to appall and offend.
but outside obedience in the act, I am not sure why they need to acceptable to God. The primary reason for baptism is to proclaim to men that you have accepted the work of Jesus on the cross, and are identifying with Him in death/burial and rising to walk in newness of life. God hears the personal cry of repentance - even if it is silent, but baptism is a public declaration to all.
If people are getting baptised to be healed... to get saved or to find Jesus... to try to leave sin in the water...
It may be "acceptable" but misguided nevertheless.

It is a mockery to all which is Holy. The absurdity of it causes one to wonder if they are not all devil possessed.

I don't think these are acceptable either, but God will be the judge.
If I could somehow urge these folks personally to get baptized again, I would.
This is sad.

Re: R the baptisms on the "Bam!!..thread acceptabl
The only way I would see these as anything approaching 'acceptable" would be if they were little kids (lets say 8-9 or under) and playing "lets baptize each other" in the pool.
(With lifeguard present.)

Re: R the baptisms on the "Bam!!..thread acceptabl
Acceptable to me? NO!
Acceptable to God? Probably!
God knows and understands the hearts of each of those being baptized, and knows they were being obedient in being baptized to show their commitment to him.
God will be the judge, not me!
Would I attend a church that baptized like that? Absolutely not!!!

Re: R the baptisms on the "Bam!!..thread acceptabl
As I have stated before, I'm OLD, OKAY? I'm a REBEL, but, an OLD one!
Baptism SHOULD be a joyous and happy time, I agree. A sideshow such as the one I viewed takes the focus away from God and puts it on the person doing the baptism.

Re: R the baptisms on the "Bam!!..thread acceptabl
Firstly baptism is titles is baptism in the Roman church, baptism into BAM is baptism into the Emeril church I guess. NOT one of these persons are Biblically baptized including the so-called BAM Jesus Name baptism. Thw whole thing is a mockery and the guy is NUTS> Who is he?????????Never heard of him?
