Don’t Let Nothing Stop You Obeying Scripture Being Immersed
You do not have to have a man put his hands on you and say a special recital over you to take on His Name.
This is personal and you can do this yourself and not only once but as many time as you like to consecrate your life to Him… and if by chance you get around a group that’s doing Immersion then jump in again..
When the Hebrew Yisraelites were Immersed it was much different how the Catholic Christians do it…
They went down face first and came up head bowed. Not like Catholic Baptism where a man lays you back and he raises you up.
This is not Christian Baptism where you need a Priest or Preacher to hold you and put you under…. That idea came from Rome…
Hebrew Immersion you go down yourself face first if you can with no man laying hands on you putting yourself under…
Even in a group setting out on the river everyone goes under themselves without the aid of another.
But yes you can do this on your own.. you need no priesthood doing anything for you and give you special sanction or blessing.
This is between You and Almighty YAHUAH.
Then as you grow and have opportunity when the weather is good… find some friends and have a meet up down by the river….
What we see in Scripture that when people were Immersed in Water it was Living or Running Water… Like a River, Creek or Stream or ocean or sea of some kind.
Because we Natsariym are so few, far and between we have to make do till we can do better. If we wait for perfect conditions then we’ll never anything get done or accomplished.
Don’t wait! Get er done!
If nothing else use your bathtub. Fill it up and let a little water run and open the drain so water can be flowing and do it that way. If you don’t have a bathtub then use your shower run it on high to get soaking wet and do it that way.
Even in a group setting out on the river everyone goes under themselves without the aid of another.
Perhaps one day you can meet up with other Believers and simply do it again.
Immersion in the Name of YAHUSHA The Messiah is not a one time event in our lives…. You can do it as often as you want to Consecrate Your Life To Him..
Hope this has helped all the new folk entering into The Way!
38 Then Kepha said to them, Shuv and be immersed every one of you in the Name of the Master-Yah YAH-USHA Ha Moshiach for the forgiveness of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Ruach Hakodesh.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, [5320] even as many as YHUH our Eloha shall call.
