-Greg Laurie Jesus Revolution Baptism Sees Over 4,000 Baptized

Pastor Greg Laurie was in awe, after witnessing over 4,000 people get baptized at the Jesus Revolution Baptism, at Pirates Cove Beach, California.

The baptism which was held on Saturday in California, was said to have been the largest mass baptism in this history of America.

The baptism took place at the historic beach which was also used for a mass baptism, 50 years ago by the Jesus Movement.

One month ago, 4,166 people were baptized at Pirate’s Cove in an event dubbed “Baptize SoCal” organized by Oceans Church.

“People like to talk about the good old days and back during the Jesus Movement when we had the big baptisms there. … Let me just tell you, because I was there: We never had a baptism on the scale,” Laurie said.

“This one is new, this is fresh. This has never happened before, and it happened where? In California. Everybody likes to throw California under the bus. A lot of people are leaving California. I’ll probably stay here because someone has to turn the lights out. But actually, I’m here to turn the light on.

“I think the people of this state want to hear the gospel. I think that people of America want to hear it as well.”

Greg Laurie also stated that initially, only 3,800 people had signed up to be baptized, but many more than that showed up.

“They were on top of the rocks. They were here, there and everywhere. There was a line that was like half a mile long of people waiting to be baptized,” Laurie said. “And my son Jonathan was talking to people, and they were happy and enjoyed it. They said, ‘Oh, we wait in lines longer than this for Disneyland – we’re happy to do this.’ And people literally came from all around the world. All around America, of course, as well. It was just fantastic.

“This may be the largest single baptism in American history. Certainly, it’s among the largest.”
