(This Second one teaches me The Preached Message Of John The
Baptist)
Chris.
John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to be
baptised. He told them the Truth about themselves and their lives. In the
condition that these Pharisees and Sadducees were in there was no way that John
was going to baptise them they needed to repent sincerely. If we are going to
have adult baptism it is important to make our life right with God first.
