Share your wacky baptism stories!
Tell us about the time somebody got water up their nose and was sick,
or the time somebody broke wind and sent up a Christly bubble. What
about the time some timid gal was so frightened of submersion she had
to be physically overcome, or the time something weird in the water
made everyone all itchy?
You know, that sort of thing. Come on, make us laugh.

I was baptised in Alaska, and the water froze, and now ICY dead people. It's tragic [just like that gag. Ed.]

This is second hand, but from a reliable source. Apparently, a guy stepped into the baptismal pool at a local mega church and discovered the water was heated and blurted out "It feels like a spa". The microphone was on so everyone heard it and the whole congregation burst into laughter.

There is nothing humorus about the sacred things of my Lord and His people. Though it's not a completely dry subject, I have been reading the Bible quite a while and there are times that I find myself with a smile on my face. It's not as though someone was telling a silly joke ( as Paul refers to as jesting, in which he was speaking against). And there is no hate towards you for your question...you surely don't know Him, But I hope that you will accept Him soon. I am praying for you.

This was one of my fears for years, that I would be submerged and choke on water. Well, when I was baptised at 17, it happened! Even though I plugged my nose, I still coughed up water, in front of everybody. But I'm still alive to tell about it.

Back in the day, when I believed in crazy things like religious ceremony, I saw a dude fall into the baptistry.

I am overweight, and a guy had to come from the other side of the baptistry (the guys' side) and help me get out of the pool.

Mel, Mel, Mel you seem to have a decidedly sacreligious rant to all of your questions. I can't think of a funny baptism story, but you're not going be laughing if you don't repent.

There was a lady, (not in my church) who wore RED undergarments underneath the white shirt and shorts. Needless to say it was embarassing.

You insult a great actor by abusing his image and you expect any to answer... if you insult others as you do why should anyone respond to you. I am a Baptist by the way and I am insulted by your question... of course that was your intent... are you happy now?... I feel much better now myself...thank you...
