CHINA. Thousands of Chinese Christians are being baptized every week, with proportionately few of the baptisms taking place within traditional church buildings. Bathtubs, lakes, rivers and swimming pools are likely sites for those who seek to follow Christ’s example of immersion. At least one new Chinese believer was baptized recently in a public bath house. The site was of his choosing, and the two Christians who had committed to baptizing him did not realize until they were actually inside the bath house that they would not be allowed to wear any clothing into the bathing area. This presented a dilemma for the two western men who were reticent to shed their inhibitions—not to mention their undergarments! But bolstered by the joy of the new believer who had already stripped off his clothes and was announcing to other male bathers that he was preparing to be baptized in accordance with the wishes of Jesus, the two Christian workers decided that for the sake of the One who gave His all for the salvation of mankind, they were willing to bare their all. So it was off with their clothes, and on with the baptism! Surrounded by curious bathers, the new believer was lowered into the public bath waters during the very nontraditional baptismal observance.
