‘Only Jesus Can Change a Heart’: Georgia Church Experiences 400 Unplanned Baptisms in One Day

[Tall Timbers]

A church in Georgia is rejoicing after hundreds of people were baptized in one day when they responded to the gospel message.

Members at Bethlehem Church’s three campuses in Barrow, Jackson, and Oconee showed up on March 1 for services where they had planned to have 13 baptisms, the Baptist Press reported Tuesday.

However, 387 additional baptisms followed when an invitation to trust Jesus Christ was offered.

Oh yes! Praise God indeed! What fabulous news!

From the OP:

Lead Pastor Jason Britt had prepared to preach on the Holy Spirit and felt God leading him to call listeners to come forward for baptism right then and there.

He referenced Acts 2 when the Holy Spirit descended on believers at Pentecost. Britt said his heart was moved by the text in the Bible.

The verses state, “Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off — for all whom the Lord our God will call.'”

Britt was amazed as he and other church members watched wave upon wave of adults coming forward to be baptized.

I love this! He was moved by God's Word. Reminds me of 2 Timothy 2:17:

God uses it [His Word] to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Obviously God worked immediately in the heart of this faithful Pastor, to equip him to call people to salvation and public baptism to confirm belief in Jesus within the heart....right then and there!

Brings tears..... thank you God you are still working!

Lord, continue to bring revivals in our nation and world. In Jesus name Amen!
