BAPTISM TESTIMONY INSTRUCTIONS (ADULTS)
Acts 1:8 – 13 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Every Christian is called to stand publicly before God, the church, and the world, and make the good confession of faith. As you are preparing to become baptized at HolyWave SRCC, we ask that you prepare a testimony of faith as a way of making that “good confession” (1 Timothy 6:12-14).
Before you prepare to write your testimony, take some time to prayerfully reflect on how God has been working in your life to draw you near to Him. The questions below serve as a template for you to process as you write your testimony. Your testimony should be around 500-700 words.
Your Old Life before Christ
1. What were you like before Christ?
2. What were your idols? In what/whom did you place your hope?
Your Journey toward Christ
3. What factors led you to identify sin in your life and recognize your need for forgiveness and new life in Christ?
4. Were there any significant Bible verses, sermons, conversations, or people that catalyzed your conversion?
Your New Life in Christ
5. Why do you believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ?
6. How has Jesus transformed your life, overcome your sin, and confronted your idols?
7. How have you been growing in Christ?
8. How can the church be praying for you as you grow in Christ?
