READ THE STORY AND PLAY THE VIDEO!!!!!
Sunday, March 28, 2009 we were at our home church, Calvary Baptist Middleburg, Florida and a visitor named Dexter came in a wheelchair. His mind was sharp and he understood every word but was unable to speak clearly. He sat on the front row directly in front of our pastor. He would flail his arms and mumble incoherently and loudly. I walked up and sat beside him and put my arm around him so he would calm down.
In the invitation I had walked to the back of the auditorium to be ready to deal with men who raised their hands wanting to be saved. I never noticed as Dexter crawled from the front pew to the altar up to the 3rd step. He was laying on the altar when Pastor Pledger motioned for me to come up to pray with Dexter. After praying with him another man helped me walk him back to the front pew.
When Dexter and I sat down together I showed him the Romans Road verses and he did his best to pray outloud receiving Christ. He immediately began poking the picture in our builetin above the names of those who were baptized last Sunday and then pointing at himself. I wanted to make sure he understood so I had Dr. Chris Pledger come speak with him. Dexter was insistent on being baptized immediately like the Bible teaches. I believe there were 8 or 9 saved and baptized before Dexter. We have never had a Sunday in 20 years without someone trusting Christ and being baptized. The video below is of Dexter being baptized by Bro. Darrell Bolton, one of our deacons. Praise the Lord!!!
