Sacrament and water baptism
Hey! Mybnames is Harrison, I am so happy to have learned about sacrament and Baptism of water. First I was baptised three times in different churches, every church I joined I was told that the former baptism was done wrong and that in needed to do the good one. Now after going through this study I can see why I was being taken through all this rituals. What I have learned is every denominations have their faith statement that they defend. With sacrament many have been told that they don’t qualify to partake, but through the teachings now I can be able to share and help many on this. Some fear to come to church even the day they here that there will be a holy communion. Because they were taught wrong theory on sacrament. Thanks again for the axx college.
