What separates followers from fans of Jesus?

Baptism of JesusI stole this headline from my friend Bob Franquiz (Advanced Coaching Almuni and all around great guy – but don’t tell him I said so).  Bob was our featured speaker at a recent Journey All-Staff meeting and he spoke about the important of baptism.  He said:

Baptism is what separates fans of Jesus from followers of Jesus!

I stole that line yesterday (Sunday, April 20) and used it at our afternoon Baptism.  28 people took the step!  We baptized for almost an hour with two impromptu baptisms (where someone decided at the last minute to step up and be baptized – one went in fully clothed!).

I love being a pastor of a local church!  

P.S. If you would like a free baptism video from The Journey just email me under the About CLI tab above or use the Ask Nelson A Question link on the right under my pic and make your request.  Be sure to include your mailing address.

We celebrated two weeks ago, and had to do it again just this past Sunday. Life change... that's the untrackable God-stuff that happens beneath the surface during the winter seasons only to grow out in the spring moments.
