A multisite megachurch based in North Carolina has baptized 282 people in a single day, with all but three of the baptisms taking place at an outdoor ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biltmore Church, a congregation with seven campuses in the state, held a mass baptism event at a property in Fletcher on Sunday, baptizing 279 people there. The church baptized three others at their morning worship services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Devin Goins, who serves as Pastor of Culture and Engagement at Biltmore, told The Christian Post that he believes \u201cthis can only be attributed to God moving in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAdditionally, our team has worked through numerous personal conversations, and we devoted a large portion of the sermon a few weeks ago to the subject of baptism,\u201d said Goins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
