❓What should you do if you don’t know if you were baptized?

First, do some homework… 🧐

1️⃣ Ask your parents – They might remember or even have a baptism certificate 📝tucked away somewhere.

2️⃣ Got Godparents? If you have them, that’s a strong sign you were baptized. 🌊They probably remember the day too!

3️⃣ Still not sure? Talk to your pastor. He will likely want to baptize you.💧

❓Was Your Baptism Legit?

To be valid, baptism has to be done “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” ✝️
If you were baptized under another name or formula, then talk to your pastor about being baptized.

Why Baptism Matters:

✨ God places His name on you! ✍️
✨ You receive the gift of the Holy Spirit 🙌
✨ You receive the forgiveness of sins 🤍
✨ You receive salvation through Christ ✝️
✨ Plus, Jesus commanded it! 📖

That’s a pretty big deal! 💥
