In the news recently I have found out that five people had died during a baptism ceremony in the sea. Apparently one of them was "overcome" by the Holy Spirit and in a trance like state led him and four other people who tried to save him, to their death. The news report can be found here.

One needs to understand...would the Holy Spirit of God "lead" someone to their death? I don't think so. I think the church leader should have thought better than to pin their deaths to the "Holy Spirit". If the unregenerate think that's what might happen to them when they get baptized...good luck if anyone converts.

Just some thoughts.
