Acts 29

This publication treats the subject of baptism and refers to the subject and directions given by the Lord Jesus Christ to his apostles, whom He had chosen, who spake unto them saying all power is given unto me in heaven and earth go ye therefore and teach All Nations baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I Am with You Alway even unto the end of the world. The subjects and practice of baptism has been the cause of much contention among those professing Christianity for over 2000 years, causing great division between believing families groups of churches countries and Nations various views have developed in terms of its meaning practice its significance and who should be baptized. In this book I seek to demonstrate, from a practical point of view, how baptisms have been conducted, during our mission work in the Philippines. To do this I make use of a range of personal historic video’s, made during our Trojan Horse Mission to the Philippians, which stated when I go news of my brother's arrest and his 16-year prison sentence in the Philippians, in 1996. I became a Christian on 16th January 1970 and was baptized by immersion as a Christian, but my brother Michael was unaffected by my conversion and change of life. It was 28 years later that I received letters and audio taped, made my brother, informing me of his conversion from crime to Christ whilst in New Bilibid Maximum Security Prison in the Philippians. It was then I was moved to write our story and wrote to him instructing him to be baptized as a Christian. It was after I published our story on the 11th February 2001, that Gordon Smith contacted me after 24 years, he had been a great help to me when I first became a Christian when i was just 21 years old, that we decided there and then on the telephone to go on a mission of help to the Philippians to help my brother. This true story relates how we managed to get the permissions to get inside the prison not only to speak and preach to 100’s of prison inmates in New Bilibid Prison, the largest prison in Asia’s Far East, but several of the 1500, Provincial and District Jails. And we witnessed the evangelical work being conducted by prison inmates themselves and of religious volunteers in New Bilibid Prison. I take you to view over 30 Baptisms, and explain the practice and meaning and of the conflicts it caused and so enabling me to teach for the bible what was taught by the Apostles and not men. We conclude by telling of the good work being done by our first Trojan Warriors who was release from New Bilibid Prison in August 2002 and returned to his own city and established several Christ Centred Churches, And also the formation of a Theological Institute set up to teach the whole council of God and to combat the errors of Arminianism and other religious extremes.
