In the past, I've been baptized every way imaginable. I was born Catholic, therefore I'm sure I was sprinkled. Someone told me that that wasn't good enough. If I wanted to go to heaven I had to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Matt 28:19 Another told me that that wasn't good enough. I had to be baptized in Jesus' name if I wanted to get to heaven. Acts 2:38 So, to be on the safe side, I decided to get baptized both ways. The last time I was in a Holiness Church they wanted to baptize me again. That's when I said enough is enough.
I often wondered about the thief on the cross, next to Jesus. He wasn't baptized yet he was going to heaven. Hmmm. Was this an exception to the rule? The answer became apparent after I learned about 'Grace'. And another thing, I was baptized in the name of Jesus, and his actual name is Yeshua.
Thus, being baptized in the Jordan was not a necessary requirement; it was merely a 'Dream Come True'. Part of the my Israel experience, baptized in the Jordan River just like Jesus was. Matt 3:13-17 Wow!
This time I was baptized: "B'shem Ha Av, Ha Ben Yeshua, Ha Ruach Hakodesh" (In the name of the Father, the Son Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit).
