Congratulations ParrishYo on such an important step. And welcome to the Church.

This is my baptism in Setubal, Portugal, in 1990. The ordinance was performed by Venancio Caleira, then Bishop of Setubal's first ward. I was confirmed by a good friend, also from Setubal, Luis Miguel Martins.

"And the Lord said unto him: I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven."

@camaramanoel Since they are deceivers to begin with, all they have done is baptized this poor soul into Hell. I am praying for the true conversion of all Latter Day Saints! My LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ is not the brother of Satan! The Book of Mormon is not Scripture, and the Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, and Articles of Faith are not truth!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is on Every continent across the world and in most countries across the world, in one way or another, either via churches and members or by humanitatian and aid work.

@apologeticsman Ok this begs to ask WHAT is a Jew and how do you prove who is one or not?

[SonOfAdam777]

@apologeticsman You have totally apostasized from the truth. Not only do you reject the modern apostles and prophets but you reject the authority and teaching of the ancient apostles too. You preach another gospel and as Paul warned you are accursed. (Galatians1:8)

[SonOfAdam777]

@apologeticsman Let's look at this in light of other New Testament teaching. In Mark 16:16 Christ said he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Christ's last commission in Matthew 28:19-20 is to go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.

@apologeticsman My friend you are living proof that there was an apostasy from the truth. In John 3:3 Jesus spoke of being spiritually born again. Nicodemus had no understanding and asked how a man could re-enter his mothers womb. Jesus then clarified and said, no I'm not talking about a physical birth, I'm talking about the spiritual birth that takes place when a man enters the Kingdom of God through baptism by immersion for the remission of sins and the gift of the holy ghost by the laying on

[apologeticsman]

then, Jesus makes this statement; "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" This shows that when He said born of water, He was referring to natural birth, and then He showed that Spiritual birth is the rebirth. The erroneous conclusion that Jesus is talking about water baptism is not supported by the text, and is not logically derived from the context of the passage. I suggest you get a Greek dictionary and a good study Bible and find these truths out for yourself

[apologeticsman]

The LDS problem is context. You take the words from a verse or passage that you want to support your beliefs, & throw away the rest. In the context, Jesus is talking about natural birth, verses spiritual birth. The Pharisee is asking about salvation, & Jesus tells him that salvation is a spiritual, not physical experience. The Pharisee asks Him, "can a man reenter the womb and be born again" & Jesus says that we need to be born from a woman (water) & by spirit. Jesus then says--continued
