Our pastor at our Anglican Church in DC would always encourage us to preach our baptism to ourselves. I love this connection of the sacramental to everyday life. Of course, it should always connect, but sometimes us lay people need some extra help.
Awesome. Interesting comparison of water in the story. A "self-baptism" versus a participation in the life of Christ's community. Exalting the self versus dying with Christ in baptism.
Your mention of Pentecostals and sacramental theology made me think of Luke Geraty's work at the Sacramental Charismatic

We all need help making the connection 😇

I hadn’t made that connection, but a homiletical one worth making.
Excellent practical pastoral theology. 👍🏻
The lord indeed met me in the water, and my life has never been the same.
