CORNELIUS GOT BAPTIZED - Conclusion

 Tsuyoshi, from Japan, had to make a change in his employment in order to qualify for baptism. He was the the assistant to the headmaster of the Ikenobo of flower arrangement. When the headmaster was unable to attend funerals, Tsuyoshi often represented him in Buddhist rituals, However, when Tsuyoshi learned about the truth about death, this practice became an obstacle to baptism. He made a personal decision not to share in Buddhist rites. (2 Corinthians 6:15, 16) Tsuyoshi was able to speak to the headmaster about the subject. The result? Tsuyoshi was able to keep his job without having to participate in the rituals. He got baptized about a year after he began studying the Bible. If you need to adjust your employment in order to please God, be assured that he will provide what you and your family need. -PSALM 127:2; MATTHEW 6:33.
