Lunga Shabalala’s baptism sparks social media frenzy

Former ‘The River’ actor Lunga Shabalala recently shared “the happiest day” of his life, posting a video of his baptism on social media.

The heartfelt post quickly went viral, drawing an outpouring of reactions from fans and fellow celebrities.

Lunga captioned his post with a powerful declaration of faith: “The happiest day of my life. My public declaration that Jesus is Lord.”

He also shared a Bible verse, Galatians 2:20 (NIV): “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

The comments section was flooded with responses, ranging from congratulations and praise to humorous and thought-provoking takes.

Some users celebrated his spiritual journey, while others playfully joked about his transformation.

@CRangataJ  said: “You get baptized in black at this church? Mmmh… things have changed there by the church industry, it seems.”

@ThePitBull007 queried: “Why televise? Then they don’t know the meaning of being a born again.”

@TumeloTiger1 added: “Good!!! The Lord’s children are going back home.”

@nicolett_nyambe had an interesting take: “@lx_amara husband potential sis.”

@aluoney_m: ”You can’t get baptized in a pool. There’s a strong connection between running water and the spiritual realm.”
