I posted this comment to their website. I am sure they will delete it:

I have been a Christian for 12 years. I have seen a lot of things in the various churches out there. I have never witnessed till now a more shameful display to profane the ordinance of Baptism given by our Lord than when I watched your instructional video. The only benefit I derived from it was to learn how fallen man has gotten with the holy things of God. This will help me educate, and warn, my children of such things.

Brethen, please repent of this.

I sure am glad that over 2,000 years of people dying over the proper/improper view of baptism that we can now laugh about it and make people fee more comfortable with it.

They didn't use the WATER SLIDE? There's a waste of resources. They'd get more baptisms if they would use it. Emergent amateurs!

Do you have to have chin hair to be a part of their church??

It doesn't have to be a full set of chin hair. The hair just has to be emerging from the chin.

What about flip-flops? Is that mandatory for normal church attire?

That almost made me a Presbyterian.

Is that available anywhere else? China doesn't allow Google video to get through...

You know, I really almost prefer that to the photos I once saw of a "baptismal event" at one of the PCUSA's "Re-imagining" rallies. They had female clowns on stilts walking up and down the aisles, "baptising" the people in the pews with squirt guns....

Disgusting.
