More Than 4,000 People Baptized In Single Ceremony
Potentially the biggest water baptism in history occurred one Sunday in May in southern California, with more than 4,000 people marking their acceptance of Jesus Christ, Breitbart reported.
The event was organized by Oceans Church of Orange County, California, and allowed some 4,166 baptisms in Pirate’s Cove. Some 280 churches and 8,000 people attended the event on Pentecost Sunday, the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles.
The event also marked the 50th anniversary of the Jesus Movement, best depicted in hit film “Jesus Revolution,” Breitbart noted. The film tells the story of Pastor Greg Laurie’s journey from his personal darkness and into the Light during the 1960s and 70’s hippie movement.
The Great Awakening Is Still Happening
Check out this great video from previous Jesus Movement mass baptisms:
Back in the days of the Jesus Movement, we used to do mass baptisms at Pirate’s Cove beach in Southern California.
We just held a baptism in September of this year and we baptized over 550 people. It seems to me, if we want to see revival again, we should do ‘revival-like’ things pic.twitter.com/Dpx2D13TO4— Greg Laurie (@greglaurie) September 11, 2018
“It was such a blessing to witness so many people getting baptized for one but to be able to see happen the same place that the hippies did it 50 years ago for The Jesus People Movement was just surreal,” one attendee said of the event, according to Breitbart.
