Like John said, it's just being dunked into water...Baptism is meant as a public confession of your faith...nothing more!
Each person's relationship in whatever power they choose to believe in is a personal one. Something that has to come from within. It cannot be forced or nagged into their soul. It's private. An individual matter which should be respected.

- Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] We were a religious people on Waltons Mountain. The church was the center of our social, as well as our spiritual lives. Each year there would come a great religious revival when each of us would be called upon to examine our conscience and to receive salvation. It was a time of joyous reunion, of intense religious fervor, and it was looked forward to with great anticipation by everyone except my father.
