Yes, but in western baptism, it's indoors, in view of believers only anyway, so it's not much of a evangelising image etc if everyone believes.
In a poor country that uses a lake, maybe a strong message, but in western/modern UK, they won't give you a baptism except for a long period later from attending church.
Like a hypocritical reward. Church attendance is not biblical in regards to one pastor preaching and everyone listening anyway. Week after week after week, and the congregation evangelises every 3months on beach missions, or Halloween missions. But day to day, oh that's for missionaries not us.
It's a joke. Just make sure someone knows the gospel and reason for baptism, then baptize or quit preaching. Because your not doing your job, maybe. What do I know.
Maybe it was always wait a few years before baptism?? Nonsense. Makes me sick. I hope preachers will do their job one day....
