Wtf does « gave my life to Christ » means in that situation? Did mf get baptized in the parking lot??
~~Only Baptists baptize~~, and it's literally dunking your whole body into water. We had a huge tub behind the pulpit, it was about three feet deep and 12'x8'. I can't imagine that happening in a Cracker Barrel parking lot, unless it's one of those pool-in-a-pickup-truck-bed situations.
"Giving your life to Christ" is basically what it sounds like. An often emotional moment in which you make a personal commitment to the Biblical idea of Christ and his teachings. Think of it like an epiphany.
Edit: my bad guys, I got the terminology wrong about which sect of bigots have wet tshirt contests.
No, absolutely not. Baptism is arguably the most important sacrament for all christian churches! Where I'm from, the catholique baptism is typically done for babies by gently pouring water on their forehead. Ofc it's less spectacular than the "full immersion" baptism by the Baptists (also used by the pentcotalists as well btw).
But anyway, none of that make sense to be done in a parking lot. Reading the other comments, I like the idea that the dude got suddenly touched by grace after eating a gross fish meal at Cracker Barrel!
Mormons do the full dunk, too. Just sayin.
