BootCamp Day 2: FridayTag-In
Posted by: HelpSaveSam
Just prior to the Back to School Bash Bro. Hendricks met with bootcampers to teach on effective communication while praying people through to the Holy Ghost. I took some notes... here is what I've got.
1. Have Fun
2. Meet as many people as possible
3. Breakdown the walls so you can communicate
4. Build a Connection
During the alter call, put yourself in the place of a sinner. People beside you don't know how to pray. Let them hear you repent. Open your eyes and ears; if they arn't repenting help them. The preacher will also be leading in repentance. Then rejoice after God has forgiven you of your sins - be excited! We are also going to lead in baptism. Tell your person about when you were baptized. Ask them 'Wouldn't you like to leave here tonight knowing your sins arn't held against you?' You need to get a commitment from therm.
The preacher will again start talking about the Holy Ghost, and you will show everyone you have it! Talk to your person about how awesome recieving the Holy Ghost is. We are going to raise our hands and people all over the park are going to recieve the Holy Ghost for the frist time. When the person beside you starts speaking in tounges encourage them and then hold up both of your hands in a thumbs up -- there will be so many hands raised we won't be able to tell you apart with out the signal. We will send out someone wiht a piece of paper and a pen to take down their information.
Don't let anyone that recieves the Holy Ghost or gets baptized leave without getting their name and contact information. If you're next to someone who wants to recieve the Holy Ghost lay your hands on their had. Use the authority of the Holy Ghost that is in you. If they want to be baptized climb into the fountain with them and baptize them. There will be too many baptisms for a handful of ministers to do all the baptizing.

Rachel,you mean to say that Br. Maddix said it was OK for a lay person to Baptize in Jesus name themselves? And even older GIRLS?? I have been wondering about that since my kids asked me.

Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you. I just realized there was a comment.
No, he did not say lay person or older... ANYONE, male or female, young, or old, that has the Holy Ghost and is baptized in Jesus' Name and prayed someone through - was given permission to baptize that person/persons they were working with.
It was the most incredible and life-changing event I've ever seen in my life! It was awesome to see young people praying other young people through to the Holy Ghost and then taking them over to the fountain and baptizing them in the precious Name of Jesus! Amazing! Completly book of Acts!
