I'm the FD of a company that sells bespoke tours to the States and Canada.

I could go every year and it would not cost me a penny.

Trouble is I have a fear of flying so don't go, much to my wife's dismay.

I won't have an excuse for much longer as our 4 kids are also grown up.

If ever I do make it over I'm gonna try and visit some of you.

That is right, you do not baptize lost unbelievers, you baptize whosoever believes in Jesus, just like he said.
Remember Mark 16:16

So, since you want to discriminate, between lost unbelievers, and the ones who truly believe, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE PRETEND BELIEVER, WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED ? ? ?


More Evidence that WATER BAPTISM DOES NOT SAVE, and it is SPIRITUAL BAPTISM THE DOES SAVE.


These are the one that I am Talking about:


Matthew 7:21-23 (HCSB)
[SUP]21 [/SUP] “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but ⌊only⌋ the one who does the will of My Father in heaven.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name?’
[SUP]23 [/SUP] Then I will announce to them, ‘
I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!’

Flying is easy, its the crashing that people fear. :) And it will build your confidence after a few flights, a beautiful way to travel the friendly skies. See nothing to fear my friend.

There are programs for getting people over the fear of flying. Take one of them. They work. At one point they take you on a plane that isn't being used for a bit and get you comfortable being on the plane. I got into field service and was somewhat nervous my first flight. Early on I got window seats. The wall is curved so my legs didn't have very much room. After my first flight the nervousness went away. Best way to travel. Must have put on 2 or 3 million miles. Traveled all over the country and world. Went through 3 passports. The only continent I didn't go to was Antarctica. Almost went there because the tech that normally went was busy elsewhere. Went to California to pick up the repair parts and the tech was there so I just flew home.

I flew one or more places almost every week for 30 years.

Will take the fear of flying course. VS will give me a free one.

My wife and I did spend our honeymoon in the states.

One week in Kissimmee, one week on Sanibel island and one week in Naples.

When the kids have flown the nest, in about 8 years time (after putting them through university) my wife and I will honeymoon again in the states.

Next year is our 25th anniversary. We are going to a Fjord Cruise.
