Dear brothers, sisters and friends, With great joy I like to tell you that I will be baptized in the 'Church of the Nazarene' in Vlaardingen on sunday the 14th of february 2010.The guide for this baptism is a special part of the Romanletter of St.Paul, Romans 6:1-14. The old life be devoured through the new life. First with Him into the (water)grave and after that resurrect with Him and walk then in newness of life. Died with Christ and risen with Him! God has been very faithfully in my life and has forfilled all my desires and made me happy and never lonesome. To Him be the glory.
In this baptism the old black life will be symbolized by a black christening gown to go with me into the watergrave and after rising with Christ a white christening gown will be coated to symbolize the new life.
"Your old sin-loving nature was buried with Him by baptism when he died, and when God the Father, with glorious power, brought him back to life again, you were given his wonderful new life to enjoy."
Romans 6:4
"Your old evil desires were nailed to the cross with Him; that part of you that loves to sin was crushed and fatally wounded, so that your sin-loving body is no longer under sin's control, no longer needs to be a slave to sin; for when you are deadened to sin you are freed from all its allure and its power over you. And since your old sin-loving nature "died" with Christ we know that you will share his new life.
Romans 6:6-8"
This my dear friends is the deep meaning of baptism. Trust always in the Lord and live a new life with Him who conquered new life on the death.
Glory for his blessed Name, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Be welcome on my baptism in the "Church of the Nazarene", Zwanensingel 1, Vlaardingen, The Netherlands.
