Thousands of Muslim refugees have sought Baptism after arriving in Germany, the Italian daily Il Giornale reports.

In Berlin, Rev. Gottfriend Martens reports that over 600 Muslims have been baptized in his Lutheran Church of the Holy Trinity; 50 are now preparing for Baptism in November. In Hannover, a single parish reports 2,000 baptisms since 2008. Pastors say that the demand for Baptism is growing as the flood of refugees increases.

Some observers have questioned whether Muslims seek to become Christians in hope of obtaining more favorable treatment in their quest for citizenship. For legal purposes, however, religious affiliation does not affect immigration decisions in Germany.

Well it makes sense that people leaving Muslim countries might desire baptism. Because if they were to seek baptism inside of the Muslim countries they would be killed by the government. So there must be many people in those countries who want baptism but are afraid to be baptized because of the penalty. I believe the woman who used to post here "spouse of Jesus" was in a situation like that.

This wave had to travel all the way to a very generous with the welfare benefits country like Germany?

What are their actions after the fact? After the baptism? That's what I'm curious to know.

Will we see Berlin become Berlinistan in our lifetime?

I have not seen a post from "Spouse of Jesus" from Iran in a very long
time.
I pray she will post that she is OK.
