baptism by emergency

Jason's Birthday was on July 13th. He is now 8 years old. He will be baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints this Saturday. For our Family Home Evening lessons, we have been studying the teachings of Jesus by learning what the missionaries teach future members of the Church before they are baptized. During tonight's lesson I asked one of the boys to recite the fourth article of faith. Jason got it almost word for word.
We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are, first, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, second repentance, third, baptism, by emergency, for the remission of sins, fourth, layong on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Whether by emergency, or just at the next Stake Baptism day, we invite all who desire to come unto the Savior, to be immersed in the healing, cleansing, and redeeming waters of baptism.

Jason's baptism is on Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 at 5:00 pm.
