It has been my observation that we do need as well to hear of more baptisms in our movement (dare I call it that?). We saw many filled with the Holy Ghost who did not ever visit again, or that when we pressed them drifted away. Easy to get them to shake and quake, real hard to make them get wet. Is it a sign of the last days that they will not accept doctrine? Is it a genuine blinding of their eyes to what is going on around them? I do not know. I do know we are struggling here in New England to convince new converts to go on and take on baptism. 

Any one else that has seen this?
