Baptism

Theological Definition of Baptism

A little boy was asked in Sunday School to explain baptism.

 He said, "It's when the preacher holds you under water and you think about Jesus!"

When Can I Get Advertised?

A little boy asked Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in California, "When can I get advertised?"

 He meant "baptized" but he made the right point--baptism is advertising that you're a Christian.
