Bathtime Baptism
Illustration
by Author Unknown
It is said that in the early days of missions in Korea a page or two of the Gospel story found its way up into a remote mountain village. The people read such of the story as was found there, believed, and accepted the message. They would establish a church group and perhaps one would come who could instruct them further, for they knew only what the few meager pages contained. As far as they were able to understand, they fulfilled the conditions until it came to baptism, and they did not know just how it should be done. They talked it over, and after prayer and discussion they went home and each took a personal, private bath in the name of the Trinity. Who would dare say that the Lord of Heaven did not accept and honor their interpretation of that symbol of a cleansed life?
