I've been trying for months to get baptized.
I contacted so many churches and they ignore me. (not in person) but emails, messages, etc. I don't have a car, so it's not easy to travel far to a church. The closest one is a 1-2 hour walk. But I don't want to become a member of that church, because I want to stick with my wife's church. I don't tell the church that. All I say is, I'm a new believer in Jesus looking to be baptized. And they ignore.
The closest I've got was a pastor replied, asking when I'm available. I replied and he's ignored since. About a month now.
The only person willing to baptize me, will only do sprinkling. My wife's church.
Well, I know it sounds odd, but you could technically have your wife baptize you. If you have a few Christian friends who could attend, that would be great. If not, I do not see why a baptism by your wife at home would not count. The Ethiopian Enuch was baptized by a nearby body of water and it was not planned or anything. Philip was the only one present. I always wanted to be baptized in a river from a close friend of mine, but I ended up getting baptized in a church that I later found out was not biblical. I am still thinking of being baptized again one day by another believer or believers who believe similar to me. Not many today do. Most are trying to justify sin (on some level) and it saddens me greatly.
