Baptized in the name of Ahnsahnghong. Amazing, is not it?
And since the Church of God joined this faith, I feel very excited.
Because the church is growing very quickly.

Baptism is the first step toward God’s favor, by which we receive the forgiveness of sins.
So it is compared to the birth of a baby coming out of the womb. As our body is born out of the
womb and then learn the things of the world one by one, so our spirit takes off sins and transgressions through baptism to be born again as the children of God, and then learn God’s providence and the secrets of the kingdom of heaven.
Ephesians1:7-9 “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance of the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding…”
Without receiving the forgiveness of sins, we can’t have the wisdom to recognize God. Therefore it is against God’s will to insist that baptism should be practiced six or twelve months later. If we want to believe in God, we ought to be baptized first, and then we are to participate in the divine nature through our life of faith. Baptism is a starting point in believing God, and it means the rebirth of our spirits. Therefore it is not biblical that everyone should be baptized after having a strong and deep faith.
Through baptism, we have the forgiveness of sins and are born again as a new life, just as
Jesus was raised from dead, and our names are written in the book of life in heaven. That is why
we are baptized. If we are not baptized, we can’t keep the Passover. And unless we keep the
Passover, our names can’t be written in the book of life. We must be baptized and keep the
Passover to escape the plagues and to enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.As Jesus
commanded us 2,000 years ago (Matt.28:18-20) we should be baptized in the name of the
Father (Jehovah), the name of the Son (Jesus Christ) and in the name of the Holy Spirit (Christ
Ahn Sahng Hong).
