Not everyone comes from the same faith tradition as I do. Yet it is a sacred calling to support our Soldiers in any way that they are striving to grow spiritually and personally, regardless of their background.
In this case, SPC Patrick Mitchell wanted to declare his faith publicly, in front of his peers. As a chaplain who follows Jesus Christ, it was my great privilege to help him do so through baptism.
In this event, Soldiers got to witness how faith makes a person stronger and more resilient.
BAPTISM:
As I explained in SPC Mitchell's baptism, baptism itself does not take away anyone's sins. It is an outward sign of obedience that represents an inward reality of the heart that one is turning away from sin and placing their faith in Jesus Christ to remove their sin and replace it with the perfect righteousness of Jesus himself.
