Baptism is not required for salvation, but is requested by God as a witness of our salvation. In some cultures this is a big step and a powerful witness. For a former Muslim to be baptized means "they became a Christian, and they left their life, and now they are ready to die for Jesus." I have to ask myself, "If they are willing to die for Jesus am I even willing to experience some discomfort for the sake of Jesus." How fortunate they are to not be bound by the idols of safety and comfort They are indeed able to stand before their persecutors with love and forgiveness.
