Next day I had to handle with something in Jesushouse-office. When I had reached the second floor and stood in front of the bureau door, I noticed a sheet of paper fastened to it.
I read:
“Next Sunday the … adult baptism takes place in Grevenbroich Chapel. Registration for it here in bureau!”
My interest was stimulated. I went inside and asked the secretary. “Hello! Please, tell me … the annunciation on the door. What is meant with adult baptism?"
Ten minute later, when I left the office, I had been registered for the upcoming baptism on next Sunday. And also for a preparation course on Saturday. “This is a condition for the baptism. You will get there all advice and information you need ” , the secretary had told me.
Now outside the bureau I felt a little bit uneasy. Had I decided correctly? Or had I made my decision too spontaneous?
The secretary had informed me that the adult baptism based on the New testament. “First coming to faith, then baptism! Not vice versa!” I had come to the same result in my bible study.
Nevertheless I normally would have taken my time for such an important decision. But it was already Wednesday and time had been pressing. The next chance for such a adult baptism would perhaps be months later.
“My bible reading … The sheet of paper. No, this could not be a coincidence! Now is the time!”, I thought. And began to feel a little bit more easy.
