Conclusion For The Baptism Cake
So how you treat the baptism ceremony distinguishes you from false Christians. A normal Christian would make fewer things that are probably offending God, but more things to accord with God. And a normal Christian would spread Gospel to the other people, and to witness the redeeming grace of God. They would love to share trust and hope and joy to convert to God. At last, a normal Christian would see the baptism as the dividing line in his or her own life. Used to live for their own pleasures, he or she devotes themselves to the glory of God after the baptism.
Thus, a real Christian won’t refuse to be given baptism; he or she is devotional to the “life career” of converting to God. A baptism ceremony is a very important step to lead a Christian to be by God’s side.
