You didn't quote any scripture to support your claim u agent from hell and u demand same from me... I command u to return back to hell
Can you see your life. I haven't abused you in anyway and you kept calling me agent of hell. Can you now understand your identity.
Anyways I'll share this link of verses so you'll read and point out baptism by sprinkle or anything that suggests partial immersion

Good day nairalanders,

Sorry I have to write this, I have decided to keep it to myself but, I decided to let it out.

Just like every other job seekers who are looking for jobs either to switch to a better pay or change environment.

Though I have been out of job since the COVID-19 pandemic started, I worked in a retail company, but since we have not been called back, I decided to search for job.

I saw an advert and decided to submit my application, just like every other people, luckily after one week or two, I got a mail that I have been shortlisted for their online test and after I pass, I will move to the next stage which is virtual interview before coming to their office to sign my employment letter.

After the mail, like 3 days I got a mail containing my ogin and password for the test, fiam, I opened and I did the test.

After like another 3days, I got a mail from them that I passed the test and i should be expecting a whatsap call from one of their head office in Europe.

Luckily I got the call, from one of the European country number from a Nigerian, believing is the call that would change my life forever.

After the normal introduction and other things like the job functions, the real bible questions started which I was able to scale through it.

Towards the end of the virtual interview, the last question was are you a born again Christian, have you been baptised and what denomination are you?.

And I said yes I'm a born again Christian, I've been baptised and I'm a Roman Catholic.

At the end of my speech his response was, is not possible to be a Catholic and be born again.

He said once you were not taken to the river to be baptised that's not a baptism.

Catholics are not born again Christians and I'm not baptised too just because I was not taken to the river to be baptised.

His last statement was, you actually have the experience but, we need other denomination not Catholic that the job entails somebody who is a real born again Christian.

That was how I lost the job, thinking today being my birthday, I will go to church and do special thanks giving.

Sorry about that, but I believe that the point is that Biblical baptism is by immersion and not by mere sprinkling as practiced in some Orthodox circles. I encourage you to prayerfully do scriptural research on this matter.

However, if you are truly born again, then you can trust the God you serve to open a better and greater door of opportunity soonest.

Remain blessed, and remember the Body of Christ is One.

If someone from Europe can be telling you that babe you better forget it and move on to another denomination, because catholic originates from Europe and they know everything about it.

Sorry about that, but we can't really make a fair and reasonable input if you do not reveal the nature of the job.

See sensible comment.

The nature of the job might require someone who believe in the tenents of the RELIGIOUS organization.

Vatican cannot employ a Muslim, not even to sweep.

Tell us the job you applied for,that demanded you been a born again to perform it. I don't believe your nicely written story. Unless you applied for a clergy work in a church or in a company owned and run with church resources,eg mission schools, church publishing outlets etc.

I thought so, too.

There has been a preponderance of fake, majority poorly written, stories on Nairanland just to keep us unnecessarily busy.

OP would have included the job position he applied for.
Besides, organisations abroad always place ability to perform over religion/denomination.

No human resource manager could have uttered these lies the is feeding the gullible ones here.

You didn't loose anything, unless you are not born again., search your bible for the meaning of being born again and if you are sure then forget them.

Peter was at Cornelius house in Act 10 and the God jumped the process of being baptised before receiving the Holy Spirit. They were all speaking in new tongues and was not baptized. My brother talk to the Holy Spirit and He will guide you.

I believe it's real. I have experienced such inclination first hand. First my daughter entered a competition and was passed over cuz her was Faith wasn't right with them. Second, a would be biz partner is bringing religion into the mix via suggestions of fellowship with her Church people in my locale. I already know that would be an intrusion on my private life, and I 'munder no financial pressure at all to cave in. So, I will wait and see if the biz will fly without religion. If not, bye, bye biz; welcome, peace and serenity in my private life!
Reading through the comment, I beginning to question if the bible I am reading is the same with other. Organized religion is really killing the christendom

You didn't quote a scripture either, Man shall not live by bread alone but the words that come out from the mouth of God

this brother.. Baptism by water immersion is the right and proper way and. The word 'Baptism' itself is a greek word meaning Immersion or deep in Water.
all through the passage in the new testament, from JESUS To his disciples and apostles and even the story of Phillip preaching to the enuch, later baptising him.. All shows the act of total immersion.

Rom 6 : 4 - 6 says : Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (5) says : for if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection :.
6. Says - knowing this, that our old man(flesh) is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

That was how I wrote Chokhmah schools test, I scaled through, a very rigorous test it was.
I was invited for a training alongside others, and was addressed as a new staff. I was so haooy thanking God.
After one week, no call, to at least say resume or otherwise.
When I tried making enquiries on what went wrong, someone told me in confidence they considered their church members first. Meanwhile, the HR consultants told us clearly it will be based on merit and not sentiments. And we all believed as na church thing naa. All na wash.
I'm sure pastor David Ibiyeomie is not aware of all they did.
I'm so angry and I know God is watching

How are you sure the pastor isn't aware and that he didn't approve? Stop judging by physical appearance.
