Quick Question

Ok so I was looking in the new book I got at the convention about what the bible teaches. I looked at the chapter about baptizim and read that there are questions you go over with some elders that are basic things you should know from the bible. I'm curious if its like this really hard scary thing. I know I'll be scared either way because I'm ( Read more... )

I'm extremely shy too! lol

It's not hard. You do get time to study ahead for it, and most even have it like an open book thing so you can look at the book when you feel lost... that's how it was for my dad anyways.

The questionss for baptizm are found in the back of Organized to Accomplish our Ministry book which you get when you become an unbaptized publisher.

It's not a quiz... ichab0d September 6 2005, 01:42:37 UTC

The point of the questions is two fold, one to help the brothers find out exactly how much you do know about the bible, and how much you understand it. Not to test you or anything. I can imagine that in a worste case scenario you answered every question wrong, and you didnt know any of the answers, but you had an understanding set of brothers who worked with you so you could answer those questions after you talked about them, you would be allowed to get baptised. Now keep in mind that was worste case. And you shoudl know these before hand by studying them, but realy its just supposed to be able to help you to know how much you know, and to have the brothers help you to understand it more. But by no means is like the SAT's or something.

In addition to what you know and if you understand it, they try to tell how you feel about it. Obviously, if they felt you didn't REALLY believe it, or were in it for some ulterior motive, they would not recommend you for baptism. But I don't get that from you just in your entries here, so I don't think you have anything to worry about. ;-)
