Ebenezer Robinson Baptized by Joseph Smith - Feels Like New Creature

After receiving his testimony of the gospel through the peaceful witness of the Holy Ghost, Ebenezer Robinson desired to be baptized. He documented the sacred moment: 'At dinner that day, (October 16, 1835) Joseph Smith, Jr., finished his meal a little before the others at the table, and went and stood in the doorway (the door being open, it being a warm pleasant day), with his back to the door jamb, when we arose and went and stood before him, and looking him in the face said, "Do you know what I want?" when he replied, "No, without it is to go into the waters of Jordan." We told him that was what we wanted, when he said he would attend to it that afternoon...We repaired to the water, (the Chagrin River which flows through Kirtland) and, after a season of prayer, Brother Joseph Smith, Jr., baptized us by immersion, and as we arose from the water it seemed that everything we had on left us, and we came up a new creature, when we shouted aloud, "Glory to God." Our heart was full to overflowing, and we felt that we had born again in very deed, both of water and of the spirit.' Joseph Smith then prophesied of Robinson: 'I am not afraid of Brother Robinson ever denying the faith.' Robinson lived true to this prophecy for the remaining 54 years of his life.
