In September of 1991, Mike Morgan began drawing For Heaven’s Sake!, a comic strip published in the religion section of The Macon Telegraph. The weekly cartoon celebrates the faith and pokes fun at the foibles of the characters who make up the congregation of "Mainline Memorial Church."

Even as a believer of baptism by immersion myself, I find that joke kind of lame.

I view adult full immersion baptism as OK if that is the ritual of the faith family you are joining. It’s not about the water or the age, but the love. Being a Presby PK, I got the infant dribble, and I am sure that is OK with my congregation and God. Even when there is incense, it’ss not about the incense!

Considering the troll in you, you should look at your self first. You just don’t like free speech do you? Twice you lie about me. Naughty.

My grandfather was a Baptist minister, and he liked to say, “Some churches sprinkle and some dunk, but we hold ’em under until they REALLY repent.”

Hmmmm. Our church is too high for sprinklers to be effective.

But more to the point than the details of how the water is encountered is the intention—to be born “from above” by water and the Spirit.
