Just in Time! Baptism Services, Sermons, and Prayers

You may also have questions yourself about the Christian faith or about being an Anglican in particular. None, they are just different words for the same thing. Can we have a private service of baptism? It is important that the church congregation is there to support you and welcome your child. However, if personal circumstances make this difficult, talk to your parish priest.

What is the right age for baptism? Baptism can happen at any age. What matters is that those concerned believe it is right to ask for baptism. Teenagers and adults may also be baptised—speak to your priest about this. Can I still have my child baptised? You may also wish to find out more about the Christian faith and what joining the church involves before you make a decision about baptism. Again, your parish priest can give you guidance.

You are asked to come along to church at least once before the Baptism. What does it cost? What do we do next? If you are usure about any of the information about baptism please feel free to contact us or come in and have a chat. You are welcome of course to attend any of our services held each Sunday; 7.

Will you baptise our baby? Why do we baptise babies? When will the baptism take place? The Promises Parents and Godparents will be asked to stand up and declare their own Christian faith.

Here are the questions with a short explanation; Question 1: Do you turn to Christ? You will answer — I turn to Christ I want to change direction. I accept that my life is not totally my own. I acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and I will try to follow his teaching and his guidance for my life day by day.

Do you repent of your sins? I can never be perfect but as I admit what is wrong he forgives and accepts me. Do you renounce evil? You will answer — I renounce evil I know that I sometimes have to make choices between good and evil. I want to set the evil behind me and from now on I will always try to choose the good. You will then be asked to confirm your faith by answering the following questions; Do you believe and trust in God the Father, who made the world?

I believe and trust in him The minister says to the congregation; This is the faith of the Church.

We know our mission is to invite Boston and beyond into a life-changing relationship with Christ and his church. But the question we'll explore on Sunday is: How do we accomplish this big mission? What is our practical strategy? After the Elder John's introduction and his command for the church to love one another, this Sunday we come to his warning about false teachers. How should we respond to false teaching and teachers? How much disagreement should we tolerate among those who claim to be Christians?

Is it ever loving to reject, divide, or disassociate from people because of their teaching? This week we'll see one more time in 2 John how God's word brings truth and love together. In light of the division and attack from false teachers in the church at Ephesus, John the Elder now comes to his primary purpose for writing. It's a gentle command to those who are still faithful to Christ: But how does their love for each other relate to resisting false teaching?

According to John, what does it look like practically for us--Ruggles--to love one another? We'll explore these questions and more as we continue our series in this short but powerful letter. This Sunday we begin a journey through one of the shortest books in all the Bible--a pastor writes encouragement and instruction to a struggling church. In the first three verses this Sunday, we'll see not only the powerful love that should characterize our church, but also the foundation--the root--of our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

In this one incident of Jesus healing a young man told in three Gospels , we hear three conversations about faith and doubt: Jesus' comments to religious leaders who had no faith, a brief but revealing dialogue between Jesus and the boy's father about faith and doubt, and Jesus' de-briefing instructions to his disciples about their need for more faith in prayer.

But this "prayer language" is just one of the gifts that God wants to give you through the baptism in His Spirit. The Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit The apostle Paul told the Corinthians that the Holy Spirit would manifest Himself among them in special gifts, of which speaking in tongues was only one: To one is give the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the distinguishing of spirit, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues" I Corinthians Paul also wrote that the Holy Spirit produces "fruit" in the lives of believers.

These are virtues that demonstrate Jesus' righteousness in the lives of His disciples: So, in asking for the baptism in the Holy Spirit you are availing yourself of these gifts for advancing God's Kingdom and allowing the Holy Spirit to further cultivate in your life the fruit of righteousness -- two great helps in living a life God can use mightily for His glory.

That's the way it is with God. God is offering the baptism in the Holy Spirit to people who need only to reach out and receive it in order to be on fire to fully serve Him. Walking in the Spirit By now you can see that the Holy Spirit is so much more than a shadowy figure to pay lip-service to on Sunday morning.
