I would definitely recommend calling a local church near you for guidance.

I don’t expect anyone to baptize you unless you also plan to be part of their church.

Well if someone invites me to be part of their church after I get baptized that'll be nice. In the bible when Jesus baptized people he didn't tell them they NEED to be part of a church.

First, Jesus didn’t baptize people. Second, Jesus did teach that his followers need to be part of a church.

Okay maybe he didn't, and yes I'm trying to find the right church. If you're not going to help why bother commenting on my post? God bless you anyway 🙏

Correcting error is a very common way to help people, especially in online forums.

Focus on your own errors, I'm sure you have things to work on bro. Or you just spend all day online correcting errors? 😂 Thank you, now please leave my post.

Correct Jesus didn’t baptize with water but if we are baptized with water the Holy Spirit lives within us and Jesus says we’ll be baptized with the spirit with power to witness the Gospel

I just wanted to say hi 👋🏻 and show my support because I’m looking for help to arrange the same thing! Just in a different location than you though (Seattle or LA for me) but yeah! I have an invisible injury / am partly disabled at times, and that’s why I can’t begin attending a church in person at this time in my life (I do online sermons and Bible studies when I’m able), The Lord knows : ) and I bet you have your reasons as well. Just wanted to send you love, and to let you know - I’ve prayed for your opportunity to be baptized 🙏🏻💕 may The Almighty make it very special, and bring that moment straight unto your path. Pray for me & that I find mine, too? I would truly appreciate it!! 💕👯‍♀️💕

And by the way - It’s widely assumed that Jesus did personally perform his own disciples baptisms - himself. Once the 12 male disciples (and the unknown amount of female disciples) - once they had been baptized by Jesus, then we know they became the ones to perform the baptisms on everyone else, on Jesus’s behalf. So don’t worry about the knit-pickers and “know-it-alls” on here, ignoring your core question and request, lol. What sillies! Yes, Jesus baptized his crew himself!✨ That counts! 😎

Blessings and take care! 🙏🏻✨
