Saving and Baptism? Do YOU celebrate?

[Guest legolass]

This may be a little redundant, but...

Do YOU celebrate the anniversary of the Day of your Salvation or your Baptism? If so, HOW do you celebrate?

If you are a parent, and your kids are either Baptised or Saved, do you celebrate?

If you don't celebrate, why not?

What day is more special to you?

How do you feel on that day? Do you feel closer to God on that/those days?

Good points.

You know that many people of the early church and even of the latter church would change their name on the day they became saved/baptised. Because they believed they were a new person in Christ.

We see many examples of this even in the bible.

Simon---Peter

Saul---Paul

Even in the old testiment

Abram---Abraham

Sarai---Sarah

Jacob----Israel

God bless,

1- You know that many people of the early church and even of the latter church would change their name on the day they became saved/baptised.

2- Simon---Peter

3-Even in the old testiment Abram---Abraham

1- I'd be interested to know where I can verify this?

2- I thought Peter's name was changed when he made his confession of Christ. This was the point of his salvation?

3- I don't see what these name changes had to do with baptism or salvation...

I was baptized on October 22, 1990, at Santa Monica Beach. Happens to be the same as my grandmother's birthday.

I have a little celebration at home each year, nothing fancy.

Hola-

My daughter recently made athe decision to follow Cgrist. When her Sunday School teacher told me she had accepted Christ we made a big deal out of it. She has been raised in the Faith for the last few years but this was her own decision, apart from my influence. It's not so much that I wanted to make her "feel" a certian way (happy, spoiled, ect.) but I felt that we should express to her by setting aside that day each year what a huge and life changing decision following Christ should be. I don't personaaly celerate the specific day I truly believed but I think it can be edifying for those who do.

In Him-

Thankful

No. I dont celebrate them. I celebrate them in a different form. I celebrate it to myself and I know what I have done for myself.

Interesting idea, though I have absolutely no idea what day I was saved or baptized. I know both happened though and how. Just what days I have forgotten.
