> > Mass baptism? I've never heard of that. Do they baptise every single person at the same time or do they do it one at a time until everyone's done? If it's the second one, how do they decide the order?

> The church I'm a member of now basically is always ready to have a baptismal service. If someone comes and wants to be baptized that night, then it'll happen. However, more often than not, people come forward for baptism and set a later date for it happen. Frequently, there will be several candidates lined up to be baptized during the same service, but usually no more than three or four.

They only had baptismal services two or three times a year, and they'd often have upward of ten or more candidates that would come in one at a time (there was only one pastor who did all the baptisms.) Is that what he meant by "mass baptism" I wonder?

That's exactly what I meant. :-)
