Pastor in Awe as 1,614 People Baptized on Beach: 'God Saved a Lot of People'

- A pastor whose church just baptized 1,614 people on a Florida beach called the incredible mass immersion an "amazing" testament to people's newfound faith. Pastor Joby Martin, founder and lead pastor of The Church of Eleven22, told CBN News his church hosts a large baptism every year, with 1,100 people taking part in the 2023 event. But Martin said this year was bigger than ever, with 50-60 people helping conduct the baptisms.
"God saved a lot of people and those people were obedient to take the next step - to go public with their faith and declare Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior," he said. "And just as amazing as the 1,614 people that got baptized are the ... maybe 10,000 people from our church [who] showed up to celebrate it on the beach." Martin said the event was "like a big family reunion" and celebration for the church. He said it has been "a bit overwhelming" to see so much spiritual fruit and to take part in so much transformation.
"I had no idea when I got into ministry that I would get to be a part of anything like this," Martin said. "And, obviously, [I] can't take any credit whatsoever. We planted our church in 2012. Lots of people have come to Christ. The church has grown pretty exponentially." The preacher believes the stunning mass baptism is part of a bigger pattern of faith professions and baptisms that are being observed across America right now. "It just seems like God is doing a thing amongst his church," Martin said. "It was super neat for us to be able to celebrate what He's doing here with what He's doing all over the place."
He continued, "[We are] just overwhelmed with the goodness of God - that God decided to flex and God loves saving people. And it was a pretty surreal moment." While some people continue to debate whether America is at the start - or even in the middle - of a revival, Martin said one thing is for certain: "it was revival in those 1,614 individuals' hearts." He said time will tell if it's a national phenomenon, but he knows God has been "glorified in every individual" who professed faith through baptism.
Martin encouraged Christians to pray for church leaders and for each of the 1,614 people who showed up to get baptized. "I would always covet the prayers of people for me, and my family, and our elders, and our pastors, and our staff, because the enemy is not pleased," he said. "We have an enemy who's a thief. He wants to steal, kill, and destroy, and he is going to try to attack these people that have just come to Christ." Martin said the church will help these individuals take the next steps of obedience and get involved in Bible studies, disciple groups, and other efforts to help their spiritual formation.

It was amazing seeing so many people publicly proclaim Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior!
Baptisms are great but I hope the Florida churches are prepared to mentor because we need disciples, not just converts. Let's not repeat the mistakes of the Jesus movement of the '60s and 70's.
Very good point! Please be sure to shepherd and help these new converts begin a walk that will grow stronger throughout the coming years!
Jesus is the miracle working son of God
If you’re losing hope,focus on him☝🏼not the storm.
I choose Jesus the Holy Messiah of GOD. I am a sinner that needs to be saved.
We are all sinners, and being saved is nothing. If people would teach correct doctrine, you should be seeking God and asking God to draw you to him and his will be done not our own way
Accept Jesus And Believe He Died and Rose Again to Forgive Our Sins..God Bless You 🙏
@@InTheGarden1960 Dude, what are you even saying?

The Bible says "Faith without works is dead. "🎉
Jesus said "Take up your Matt and walk"
Thats an action that didn't earn healing but withot that act of faith he wouldn't have walked.
Baptism is the same kind of act of faith.
This is so wonderful to hear! Praise the Lord x
Jesus loves you
Thank You Jesus Christ ❤
WOW PASTOR KEEP PRAYING AND DOING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING AMEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Praying in the name of Jesus, all these souls, I got baptized that they just take Jesus and start to meditate on his word. Because I'm here and in the stats. At only 13% read the Bible from the beginning to the end. So I prayed a name of Jesus. A holy ghost fire. Get ahold of them and learn to love the Lord with all their heart so in mind and not to be compromising their walk with Christ and habitual sinning and lukewarm has Begun in the name of Jesus. May there alter, be fire burn in morning noon and night? May they be prayer warriors? Fasting meditating on his word day and night.Learning to know who Jesus Christ.Our lord is and jesus mighty name amen
My church denomination has a campground with cottages & a large tabernacle. On Sundays, there is usually a baptism in the river. Wonderful experience!!!
Amazing video
Helleujah Amen
Wonderful ❤

That is good & Best. Our Lord is. good to Isreal people.Amen, Hallelujah! GLORY YO THE LORD JESUS CRIST❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I LOVE MY LORD❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Praise the Lord! Baptism is just the beginning, and hopefully these people have turned from their sins in genuine conversion and will be quickly sanctified by the Holy Spirit to stay on the narrow road. I looked at the church's statement of faith, and it looked good. I always check a church's beliefs on marriage, and unfortunately lots of churches say that marriage is between one man and one woman, but in practice they have divorce and remarriage in the church which is adultery. If divorced, you must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to your covenant spouse. They don't say that they believe in the rapture, but I hope they do.
Amen God is moving
May the Holy Ghost fire flow wi america.
💎🙏🏻
We need to pray for the salvation of every person on the planet. God is willing for none to perish. We also need to pray that God will speed up the saintification of His children and that we all will be walking out our callings. That God will turn us into a spiritual army and that we all will reach a new level in Him.
Love, "Let's not focus on the mat, like the Pharisees. If it seems like God is doing a great work, maybe our first reaction should not be, "But what about this."" (paraphrase)
Absolutely! Let us pray together for these individuals.
It's God's work.
"The Son of Man came to seek and save that which is lost." Luke 19 And...

Great news. People are becoming the citi😊c😮n. Of heaven
Still time to be saved for the kingdom of Jesus Christ for those who want to. God=Holy Spirit who became flesh Matt 1:23. Forgive everyone who ever sinned against you(even your ancestors). Repent,be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins,then you will receive the gift of the Holy(Christ's) Spirit Acts 2:38. If Christ's Spirit does not live ín you yet,you still don't belong to Him ROM 8:9. Christ blessings!
The book of James chapter 5 verse 7 which is the holy Spirit poured out on all mankind is actually happening as we speak in certain areas at a time. Which l thought it would be all over at the same time, but I was wrong, since it is being done in God's perfect way and in his perfect Divine timing not mine
What does getting baptized in the ocean do?
nothing, they should be seeking Gods will and worried about the salvation they claim they have received. It is easy to say one believes in Christ but to actually have overcome they must be Born Again....
Biblical times
What is the reason for water baptism?
To cleanse the sinners heart and mind. See Leviticus 14:33-57, this is about cleaning your house, this same thing correlates to baptism
@@InTheGarden1960 now that is a new one!
How do you receive eternal life?

no proof? of any kind?
✝️ THIS IS MY TESTIMONY 2021 🙏❤️🎄Praise God, I was a Muslim most all my life, I converted to Christianity on 16 of May 2021. I am 78 years old now.
I left Islam because I studied the life of Muhammad.
I accepted the Gospel because I studied the life of Jesus Christ
BESIDE THAT !
I did not find 1 verse in Jesus’s teaching, the Gospel, that Jesus ordered us to kill other people because of different beliefs. Jesus never goes to fight or war and never kills people. But the Prophet Muhammad was a War Leader.
THERE IS NO NAME EXCEPT JESUS
And salvation is found in no one but in Him (Jesus), for under heaven there is no other name given to mankind by which we can be saved." Acts 2 4:12
NO ONE COME TO HEAVEN EXCEPT THROUGH JESUS.
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 NLT Wow 🤩
In the name of Jesus the Savior of mankind, the Prince of Peace, Alpha Omega. And the Creator of the Universe, my witness, blesses many people who are converted to follow Jesus. Amen
✝️❤️✝️
Does water baptism save people!???
It is about belief. I was told by. Came back. I was told ya ain’t walk in, I am.
@@Rivendell1697
This comment is correct.
Baptism is for the remission or removal of sin, yes it is essential for a persons new birth conversion for their salvation experience. Baptism is not a act of works but being obedient to the Word of God. You are not saved without baptism or saved first and then apply baptism as a statement of faith by excepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.
@@Rivendell1697
It's like Poetry.
Are you a she-elf from Rivendell? 🤔
Show US your ears. 😮
John the Baptist said "Repent and be Baptized for the forgiveness of your sins."
The Cross of Jesus is what earned you the right to get your sins forgiven and Baptism is getting buried with Jesus and being raised up to a new Life!!
Peter says "Repent and be Baptized for the forgiveness of your sins. This is a promise and it's for you, your children, and ALL who are FAR OFF (that's us).
Baptism is the way into th cross that will save you.
🎉😂Paul baptized the Phillpean Jailer after midnight, at the risk of his life. PROOF THAT BAPTISM IS NOT A PUBLIC EXPRESSION. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT BAPTISM IS DONE FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS ACCORDING TO JOHN. IN MARK 1 AND PETER IN ACTS 2:38. 😂😂🎉🎉
So the thief wasn’t forgiven?
Mark 16:16 says only believing in Jesus unto salvation
Yep he confessed with his mouth the lord Jesus he asked Jesus to remember me in his
Amazing message from this pastor. Thank you CBN for covering this. Great program. 🫶
Praise God!
