Pastor Rick Teaches How To Baptize

I'm going to show all of you how to baptize okay everybody raise your hand say I do I just authorized you to baptize all right let me show you how to baptize turn turn this way first thing you do is you kiss the person you're gonna baptize no okay baptism oh the biggest mistake people make in baptizing is they get nervous and do it too quick and a lot of times with people baptized it's like down up down up it's like you're jerking their back and their neck and their head and look even if you've made it slow motion it still only takes three seconds now baptism is the most significant right a person can have in their life okay it's more important than marriage it says I'm in the eternal family god this is the most important right a person can have if it's only gonna last three seconds milk it make it long make it significant and make it meaningful baptism is not meaningful if you say it rote you're not personal you're not loving you're not warm and you just drop down and back about like this okay so what you would do is the most important thing when a person is going to be baptized is that they feel loved it's more important than what you say it's more important than anything else and so you make it personal now what I would do is we say now cross your arms like this now why do we cross your arms like this it gives guys a place to put their hand for half of the human race I don't have to explain that do i okay so you could say you asked them to cross their hands and they can bend their knees as you about now when you baptize here's the key thing to baptizing when you baptize you're going to take a step back behind them and lower them here rather if I stand here and I'm even and I try to baptize I have no leverage to lift them back up does that make sense because I'm leaning I have no if I stand right here I don't have any strength to pull him back up on the other hand if I'm here with Jason and I left like that see what I did I just step back now all the powers right there in that leg that makes sense so when you step you take a step with them pay it back and lift him back up I was a Red Cross Lifeguard for three years I've never dropped anybody so wait a minute you're not through now here's the thing when somebody's baptizing you don't need to talk to the people out there you need to talk to them so what I don't need to do is Jay said i baptize you in the name of the Father yeah really okay I need it it's okay to talk to the crowd but when you're taught when you're baptized and talk to the person who's being baptized that makes sense and just make it personal now I'll all I usually say when I talked to women that I'm baptized it I talk more gently when I talk to men I taught I talk more strongly and for instance with a woman I'll say Jason Jason net and I'll look her in the eye and I say Jason net i baptize you my sister i baptize you mine and i just pause I'm not in any hurry i baptize you my sister look you so much in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit see how I made that long I don't say in the name of the Father Son Holy Spirit and then the Holy Ghost Father Son and Holy Ghost no no in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit buried with Christ in Baptism and raised to walk in a brand new life hug him and let him go on out Jason now feels loved okay okay don't you feel loved very much sobbing Jason have you ever played this stop oh no okay ask ask be room barred to play to stop with you someday okay now now with when I'm baptizing a woman I to her more tenderly she's my sister in Christ she is my sister okay she's by sit we're in the same family i baptize you my sister now when I'm baptizing a guy I've talked more forcefully say Jason I could touch him a little bit harder baby Jason would you cross your arms i baptize you now my brother in Christ in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy ale or forcefully i baptize you in the name of the Father and the son this is no wimpy thing and a man is taking a significant step i baptize you buried with Christ in Baptism and raised to walk I should have just left you drop yeah hey guys sit down okay so you ever get called on to baptize do it slow take your time it's the most significant moment in their life look them in the eye express love as a brother or sister in Christ make them feel it's a tender moment it's a tender moment give them a hug you know and then let them go out
