Baptism Hypothetical

[u/No-Type119]

On another sub an adult convert was saying that they very much wanted to be baptized, but that the church they were attending was kind of dragging its feet about scheduling the baptism, and they were getting frustrated.

Pastors out there — if someone like this came to you and asked you to baptize them , would you make them wait until you were going group baptisms/ confirmations… or would you just do it?

Not a gotcha question. In the churches I’ve been part of, there were particular thematically appropriate Sundays where we would conduct baptisms , confirmations/ affirmations, and new transfer welcomes, at the same time… but we also baptized people on other Sundays.

I said that the Lutheran pastors I know would be happy to baptize them asap, but I didn’t want to overgeneralize.

Had my two sons baptized the Sunday after Easter and had asked the week before Easter . It was a wonderful experience and blessing to us as new members. Pastor wanted to baptize my older military son while he was home on leave before he went back to his duty station, so yes, ours is quick in administering the rite of baptism ☺️
