Gail is Chinese and her family was either Buddhist or Nothing (you could say atheist, but really they know nothing about God). She believed and confessed when she was in High School due to friends that took her to church. How great is that!
Anyway, about a month ago Gail and I were talking about salvation. Amongst the conversation baptism was brought up. She happen to not know anything about being baptized. I showed her scripture on how a part of salvation is believing and being baptize( Mark 16:16). That being baptized allows us to have the Holy Spirit that gives us all the help, guidance, power, and comfort we need through our Christian walk (Acts 2:38, John 16:13, Acts 1:8). She nodded, but I assumed, like most people, she already made-up her mind on what she believed. Still yet I wanted to share this because it's important.
Turns out right after, she started talking to her Bible Study group (she doesn't have a church and enjoys the small setting of the Bible study) about baptism! I just found this out this week and was very excited for her obviously. She invited me to see her get baptized yesterday at the Bible Study. And I don't know about you all but this was a first for me. She was baptized in a BATHTUB!
I just wanted to give this testimony for those who may be planting seeds or watering (1 Corinthians 3:6). To let you know that those who sow in tears will reap with joy (Psalms 126:5). Also because I am very joyful for my best friend because now she having repented and being baptized can receive the Holy Spirit which can help her reach out to her family and friends.
Keep her in your prayers and hope this blessed yah
