Baptisms

While we were in Alaska Christen and Caleb Jones were baptized! (We returned to Idaho on the 6th) They accepted Jesus into their hearts quite a while ago, but wanted to wait to be baptized in the ocean.

Singing before the baptisms.

Neighbors and friends from across the island.

Mike Ashe reading Romans 6:1-11

6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ²God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? ³Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. ⁵For if we have become ^[a]united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; ⁶knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; ⁷for he that hath died is ^[b]justified from sin. ⁸But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; ⁹knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him. ¹⁰For ^[c]the death that he died, he died unto sin ^[d]once: but ^[e]the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
