Does the Church have any articles about baptism?
"Baptism and Belonging" which is a short article about our understanding of baptism.
Four statements about Anabaptists with a paragraph on baptism, from Messiah College.
Do I have to do a video testimony?
Almost everyone baptized has done one. It's far easier than you think. You just sit down with our video director and they talk to you. They'll ask you questions like, "So, why did you start coming to Revolution?" and "Did you go to Church growing up?" You'll have a conversation and after 20-30 minutes you're done! They take the conversation, cut it up in a video editor, and it turns out to be a short story about your life and how you came to know God.
Nearly every person who does a video would say they were nervous, but it was super easy, and the video turned out way better than they expected.
To answer the question... no, we wouldn't stop someone from being baptized because they don't have a video. But, you do need to share your testimony and be able to show the Church that Jesus Christ is your Lord. One of the best things about the video is that you don't have to give a speech in front of 500 people.
Can I invite my friends and family to the baptism?
Absolutely! We encourage you to invite as many people as you want. For a lot of people, they wouldn't come to Church normally, but because YOU are getting baptized they'll come and watch. Who knows, some of them might get saved because they realize that Church is awesome and God loves them!
