Today was Baptism, Confirmation & Promotion Service for some of the Youth of the Church. Rev'd Kissi explained that (Adult Baptism = Childhood baptism + confirmation...this is my mathematical formula). People who were baptised when they were babies or children or before they reached the age of responsibility, need to confirm their faith in Jesus when they grow up, hence confirmation, to seal the Childhood baptism.On the other hand, people who were never baptised in their childhood need only Baptism when they grow up -no confirmation in addition; hence the mathematical statement given above. Some were therefore only baptised and others who had been baptised in their childhood were confirmed; and the adults among them were today promoted to the Adult Service. Rev'd Fayose, in a short exhortation, explained that, being born again is an on-going process, and that as Christians, we are being born again everyday. This is in apparent reaction to the act of some preachers always asking members in the congregation who are not born-again to 'come forward' and be prayed for.
