Evangelist Greg Laurie, a longtime columnist at WND, has held what is being called a baptismal service of “biblical proportions” at one of the locations in California where the Jesus Revolution was filmed, in Newport Beach.
Media reports reveal that over the weekend, at Pirates Cove, the Harvest Crusade and Churches, Laurie’s organization, held a service for the baptism of some 4,500 people.
“On the day of Pentecost, after Peter preached, we read in the Bible that 3,000 people were baptized. At Pirates Cove, we are looking at a baptism of biblical proportions,” Laurie told the Washington Times.
