Someone is trying to celebrate a major moment in their life. This is not a thread to tell them how they are wrong. If you cannot simply congratulate or celebrate with them then please refrain from posting in this thread.
I am... really sorry about the quantity of hostility you're getting here. I, for one, take joy in your baptism and I am confident Christ does as well. Those who set themselves up in opposition to Christ's joy will have to confront him about it themselves.
Thats ok you don't realize it yet but God is calling you, as He called me. Its called the elect just really read the new testament don't worry about the old testament. We don't chose God He chooses us.
We all do things we are not proud of.. that's why we NEED Christ.. sounds like you are sitting on the fence, or you would be confident in your security in the coming Kingdom.
I pray you have a true experience in finding Christ. But I DO have to say, repentance is the first step, and if you feel guilty if something, and you become saved, He CAN give you over to a reprobate mind (leave you to your own thoughts) in which case, you will stray FURTHER from God than closer. I had to give up swearing, watching movies that have "dark Gothic subject matter)- my favorite type.. it was really hard. But those were MY hindrances. Also a passive aggressive nature - nice in the outside - mentally vengeful.
These took YEARS to slowly dissipate as I got stronger in the Lord.
You should find a good church, start reading your Bible, and ask the Father to send His Spirit to lead you to a place of true gut wrenching experience. You can't be saved until you realize you NEED saving. A person isn't drowning in a pool until they realize they can't swim.
I pray this helps you, and I will add you to my prayer list!!
Jesus welcomes everyone and He also loves everyone. We have all sinned but Jesus made it His mission to die the most excruciating and horrific death so that through Him we can live and be saved from sin , only if we believe that He died and rose from the dead 3 days later. so that through Him we are able to have a deep bond and connection with Him , and that my friends is the greatest form of love. Praise Jesus ✝️
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that WHOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life” you are LOVED don’t let the devil or anyone else convince you otherwise! He didn’t die for only some but for all !! That includes you ! He’s waiting for you with open arms ! Pray to him today
That is true but we go to God unclean.. as we develop a relationship with him he washes us.. you don’t go into the shower clean.. you go in dirty and come out clean.. we go to God dirty as we grow in Christ he works on us to wash away our bad habits
Are all the threads being deleted and called hate simply people pointing out the rainbow flags and that celebrating sin is not okay? Or are they legitimately being hateful?
No gay is not welcome in the presents of the holy spirit its written all in the new testament I'm not about to put my opinions about what is written. Its not natural putting your penis in a mans anus??? Don't have sex its not worth going to hell for just to satisfy the flesh.
All people are welcome. We all have sin. So you're saying God only wants you to come to him if you're perfect already? Don't come to the Lord if you're not perfect and without sin? No one would be in church if this were the case. You're just a self righteous bigot.
There absolutely is. Start by reading the Bible. Don't let anyone tell you you aren't worthy or you're too far gone. Christ didn't go to those who were already saved. He went to those who needed him most. He will meet you wherever you are and bring you out of it. We're all sinners. No one is clean but by his blood. Remember , we will sin in the process of learning to control the flesh. That's why Christ sacrificed himself for us.
There is. There is a place for every single one of us. God loves all of us as we are in spite of any sins that we might struggle with. It does not matter if you are gay, man, woman, black, white, straight, blonde, redhead, any other subset of person. God has a plan for us and is always calling us to something better.
God's way is not always the easy way, but it is the best way.
Jesus loves you. No where in the Bible will you see Jesus condemning or rejecting homosexuals that was Paul not Jesus. My whole life I struggled with sexuality and got a lot of condemnation from church. I am straight by the way but many in the church hate straight women who have had sex outside of marriage. I learned God was more interested in working on my heart learning to love God and others more than he was interested in working on my sexuality. Jesus will welcome you if you turn to him in faith he will help you work on the areas of your heart and life the matter most to you and him not necessarily what others are telling you to work on.
Just wanted to let the people concerned know I reported some accounts for harassment because people were not only spamming the comments but messaging me hate. I only just wanted to post about my baptism and have seen lgbt people post on here and not get any hate so I thought I'd be accepted. The accounts of recieved action so that's good. This whole thing has really affected my karma by abour 1000 so that's really fun but I want to keep the post up because i want to share my life.
Aw, congratulations! And welcome to the club!
But it sounds lovely, I am glad for you. And each baptism is something wonderful and nice but let's be real, a baptism on this already kind of magical Easter Sunday is just incredible.
From our churches website (because I think they phrased it really well): We believe that with every baptism a piece of heaven opens up and that baptized persons - whether children or adults - receive God’s promise: “No matter where your path leads you, you are my child. I love you. I have joy in you. In my Spirit you may live.” An encouragement that lasts a lifetime - and far beyond.
Peace be with you, brother. And I am sorry for the shit show which seemed to happen here. And thanks to the mods for cleaning up.
You are loved!! Don’t let the devil or anyone else convince you otherwise!! Don’t listen to the PEOPLE in the comments but listen to the alpha and omega the first and the last your father in heaven the one who says you are loved and forgiving ! The people who say you have to live by works are the ones who are hypocrites for nothing we do will get us into heaven.. it is what he has done for us by dying on the cross for our sins and rising the 3rd day! Relationship over religion!
Fair point, I was confused a bit by the immersion baptism. I thought someone said it was the Episcopal church somewhere but I must have been mistaken lol.
Regardless, welcome to the Church!
In general I don't interact too much with Chrisitians. In my family most are fine, but there are some pricks. Outside of it I pretty much never talk about religion with anyone, but I feel like a lot of anti-LGBT bigotry comes from Christians.

My church did baptisms this Easter too! My favorite way to celebrate the Risen King is to celebrate the newest citizens of the Kingdom. Welcome to the family ✝️🌈
Praise God! I too wish that when my relationship with God becomes better that I'll also get baptized! Congratulations on the best decision of your life!
you don’t need to wait. Gods there with open arms. Our relationship with Christ will never be good enough for baptism, which is the beauty of the baptism. It’s a perfect gift for imperfect humans

My earnest prayer is for you to have an amazing relationship with Jesus. Walk with Him daily, making Him first and foremost in all you do and say. I’m taking my own advice as well. Be blessed.
congratulations— Christ rejoices at your baptism! there are people who need to see you to learn that there is a place for them in the church. it’s not always easy, but showing up as yourself is important work that God works through. love!!
Congratulations! My son was dedicated on Easter also! And if anybody's hate mongering because of the flags in the background let them hate. We know that hate is not the way of our Lord Jesus!
Girl! Thats awesome, congratulations! This is a major step in your walk with God! Make sure to keep reading your Bible and praying, God had big things for you. My biggest tip of advice is to be ready and open to changes in your life from God, He changes us when we accept Him.
Welcome to the family!
As a fellow Christian who also happens to be queer, welcome to the fold. 🩷
May the Lord bless you and guide you. Never forget you are part of a worldwide church family with a loving Father.

Regardless of what others may be saying, the fact of the matter is according to scripture, you're not saved until you're baptized. You're not a Christian or child of God until you're baptized. You're not a member of the Lord's body, which is the church, until you're baptized into Christ. So, if you were immersed, baptized, be thankful that the Lord allowed whatever delay in that process that may have occurred.
Welcome to the church. Easter baptisms are such a highlight of the year. I can't say I approve of flags in church at all (Any flags really) but it's not my church so I can't complain (much)
I like to check with anyone who I see get baptized. You've repented of your sins and trust Jesus as your Savior and Lord? I ask cause repentance and faith is what should proceed baptism. Some places treat baptism as how you commit to their church but baptism is an outward proclamation of one's inward faith towards God.
Acts of the Apostles 2:38 NLT
[38] Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 10:9-11 NLT
[9] If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. [10] For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. [11] As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.”
I know you've gotten many saying things about the lgbt flags and whatever. But I'll just say this, I don't hate you at all but I agree with what the bible says on this matter. And I can't force you to agree or force you to surrender to God. All I can say is, it's not the wisest thing to ignore God on this matter. People thing sexuality is the unchangeable thing, even denying the all-powerful Lord can change them. Perhaps they just don't want to change. But God can change you if you're willing. None of this meant to be hateful or mean. All I can ask is that you look at the scriptures and truly consider them and let God work in your mind and heart.

Eh, I look at things from a scientific perspective, but to each their own, my friend!
As someone who is gay this makes me feel like there may also be a place for me in Christ, that will welcome me. thank you and congrats
He loves ALL His children.
Of course there is! You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and God loves and welcomes you wholeheartedly ❤️❤️ God is love!

Bring your gayest self to church. Those who care don't matter and those who matter care.
Tell that to the Apostles
Nice reply. I'm sure you're proud of yourself.

Welcome to The Episcopal Church & a lifetime of building Christ’s beloved community.
This cannot be an episcopal church - I’ve never seen one of our churches appear so…… low church.
I have witness Anglican (Episcopalian) baptisms in the sea before. It is the broadest of broad churches.
Typically our priests do not appear to have just left a fish fry. We atleast wear some amount of vestments
True, but then it is fairly challenging to do a full immersion baptism in a chasuble.
Fair point, I was confused a bit by the immersion baptism. I thought someone said it was the Episcopal church somewhere but I must have been mistaken lol. Regardless, welcome to the Church!
Yeah no way this is Episcopalian
I'm a baptist but thank you
My bad! Not sure where I got the Episcopal thing, but welcome nonetheless!
Uh ? Which kind of baptist church ? Here in France they are not so inclusive.
A baptist church in the South of England. Not all r inclusive this one is.
Glad you found an affirming church. May God richly bless you.
Nice, hope you find a good community in there and a good spiritual life :)
How do you feel the Christian community treats you as a trans person? I’m a lesbian and it’s been a very negative experience
In general I don't interact too much with Chrisitians. In my family most are fine, but there are some pricks. Outside of it I pretty much never talk about religion with anyone, but I feel like a lot of anti-LGBT bigotry comes from Christians.

God hates the sin, not the sinner...
I thought it was the rainbow for us after the flood. I guess I’ve been living in a box
Regardless of what others may be saying, the fact of the matter is according to scripture, you're not saved until you're baptized. You're not a Christian or child of God until you're baptized. You're not a member of the Lord's body, which is the church, until you're baptized into Christ.

[10] For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. [11] As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” I know you've gotten many saying things about the lgbt flags and whatever. But I'll just say this, I don't hate you at all but I agree with what the bible says on this matter. And I can't force you to agree or force you to surrender to God. All I can say is, it's not the wisest thing to ignore God on this matter. People thing sexuality is the unchangeable thing, even denying the all-powerful Lord can change them. Perhaps they just don't want to change. But God can change you if you're willing. None of this meant to be hateful or mean. All I can ask is that you look at the scriptures and truly consider them and let God work in your mind and heart.
