Bath Street

On Bath Street (South) stands a church with a strange name. If any one knows about Christianity, they must be even more confused.

St John the Baptist

Why do I call the name strange? John the Baptist was not a Christian. Those familiar with the Bible and the account of Jesus' life and ministry will know clearly that John the Baptist was a devout follower of the Jewish religion. John condemned the Jewish religious leaders as teachers of falsehood and displaying works that did not belong to true believers in God.
(read Luke chapter 3 verse 1- 20)

His brush with Christianity was in the baptising of Jesus (the Christ).(verses 21 - 23) John was beheaded (Luke chapter 9: v's 7-9) before Christianity was established by Jesus Christ after the Jewish festival of Pentecost in the year 33 CE. (Luke 22:28-30)

Another strange part of using the name of John the Baptist is the actual ceremony of baptism. When the Jew John baptised Jesus and other Jews of that time, he did so by total immersion. The persons baptised were adults who were repenting and wanting to get back in favour with God. In this Frome church, babies are baptised by sprinkling water on their foreheads.
