Yardenit

We made our last stop just south of the Sea of Galilee where the Jordan River continue its course from the Sea of Galilee toward the Dead Sea. The last stop was at the Yardenit where people gather to be baptized or witness baptisms. This would be a good place for a closure on your future Israel experience (if you have not buried your life in the Lord in baptism).

Jose and I witnessed several baptisms. But there are different types of baptisms. Sprinkling on the head, baptized three times in a row (in the name of the Father (1), and of the Son (2) and of the Holy Spirit (3), and on baptism in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

There are many different beliefs how baptism is practiced. But the Bible shows several clear Scriptures that baptism is an immersion into the water (i.e. Acts 8 with the eunuch and Romans 6 with emphasis of the word, "buried").

The entrance into Yardenit


A woman was getting ready to be sprinkled on the head


This is the practice of sprinkling


It was the first time for Jose and I see this lady being baptized three times (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)


Again and again..


Scripture written in Romanian language


This is the Scripture I was talking about: "buried/burial" in Romans 6:4.
