I woke up months ago and realized that I had given up on myself and my life. For years I had been mostly sitting and rotting away, waiting for Father to come. I decided that was nonsense, I am too young to be waiting in that manner. I searched my heart and my earliest memories and found goodness, and value within my own humanity once more. I found my inner Angel and my Faith once again.
I found these forums looking for any recorded information about self-Baptism, that would match one of my earliest childhood memories. The old man who demonstrated that ceremony 50 years ago also called it standing the Angel. A ceremony that I fear has been forgotten, and outright suppressed by the various religious doctrines over the years.
That old man and my first Teachers were Lutheran; which I will lay claim to for my Faith. But even the preacher at the Church I have started to attend has never heard of that ceremony before.
So this is just me. Father does watch over us all; and I Pray that you all receive His Blessings as He does come.

Hi Steven;
welcome to CF; May the Lord Jesus guide you here as well as in the world; and may you find friends and what ever you need from the Lord here.

I do have a question for you; do you like music--Praise & Worship music?

I have found; in times of trouble; like we have with this CV-19; that listening to; and singing along to good Christian P&W music; can bring us closer to Jesus and His wonderful peace.

Well we have a new forum here at CF just for P&W music and at the top is a directory of other Christian music threads around CF; come and take a look!:wave:

Welcome to CF!

Even Jesus didn’t baptize Himself and asked John the Baptist to baptize Him.

The self-Baptism is done before witness; it just does not require water. Words matter, the rhythm of the words matter more, but it is the intent behind the words that matter the most.
