My two oldest kids were baptised a couple of weeks ago in the Gulf of Mexico off the sea wall in Galveston (right by lifeguard stand 43) when our church was there for a day of fellowship, surfing, worship, and evangelism. It was very cool.
I think the water in this truck is cleaner.![]()
I could have given them a Bible, after they dried off!

Isaiah 6:8 I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?
Then I said, Here am I! Send me.
Matthew 22:9 NIV
'So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.

Hey, it's not about the water, just like salvation is not about baptism. I've seen plenty of pictures of soldiers in Iraq who were baptized in hand-dug pits in camp. After all, as the eunuch said to Phillip, "here is water -- what prevents me from being baptized?" (Acts 8:36-37)
I have, though, heard of drought so bad that the Baptists took to sprinklin' and the Methodists took to using a wet washcloth.After all, as Jerry Clower observed, "it's that little spot on the top of your head that counts anyway!"

I couldn't find the specific reference online when I searched at another time, but ISTR Reggie White baptising Earnst Byner, then a PHiladelphia teammate I think, in his hot tub. (Byner may have been with Washington then, too.)
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
