Things in the Bible not really in the Bible ...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

Only ordained ministers can baptize someone.

Acts 9:10-12,18

Fact of the Day

No!  The man who baptized the future apostle Paul was just a “disciple” (follower).

(In Afghanistan, they do it by telephone.  The prospect takes their phone to a pool or other body of water and calls the Christian man who will say the “holy words” over him.  The Christian takes his confession and records it, says,”I now baptize you in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.”  The prospect dips himself under water, the baptizer prayers for them, and, if safe, the new Christian takes a picture of himself or herself all wet.  The baptizer then sends the recording to all the other Afghan Christians.  [Usually it is not safe to take a photo].  And everyone rejoices.)
