    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!

    Baptisms aren't just a Baptist thing, though they generally put more weight behind it than most other denominations that do it. At least from what I've seen.

    I was Pentecostal growing up, and a few times a year- generally around Christmas and Easter- they'd do an open baptism and anyone who wanted could get dunked. I went to one church without that big tub behind the pulpit you're talking about- they'd do it in the river nearby. Cold as hell in the winter.

    Basically every brand of Christianity that I'm aware of has some form of baptism, though the exact way it's done varies a lot.

    Matthew 28:19 is, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
