Baptisms Fall Again

Southern Baptists are baptizing fewer people than in the last 60 years. The number fell in 2010 by 5%, according to the new Annual Church Profile compiled by LifeWay Christian Resources. There were 332,321 baptisms in 2010, down from 349,737 in 2009. Membership is also down .15% from 2009. That's the 4th drop in a row.

That's too bad.

Baptism is one of the most important things to this Christian walk.

I wonder why the decline.
