Is it appropriate for a setting outside of the local church?”
In Matthew 3:16 Jesus came up out of the water [Jesus was not sprinkled He went under the water and came back up] and this happened NOT in any church the point of Baptism is to follow the example Given by Jesus Christ the where is not the point now The Lord also says The Bible says in Eph.4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, you do not have to be outside of The Church building but in Acts 2:47 Jesus Christ Himself added daily to The Church as such as should be saved. The Place on is baptized in is not the question this is a outward act of doing this is the same as doing anything else for The Lord John 14:15 “IF” you Love me [then] Keep my commandments we are joining The Lord The act of Baptism points to The Death [going under the water] burial and resurrection [coming up out of The Water] of Jesus Christ and if the motive is Love then your on safe ground. God bless take care.
