Ken Thompson, who turns 98 on Sept. 12, 2015, was baptized on July 12, 2015, at First Baptist Church of Madison, Ala., where he and his wife, Tempie, have been attending for a few years. He doesn't believe that baptism is necessary to qualify for Heaven – his stated belief in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior suffices for that, he says.


So why bother with baptism? After all, even though Thompson remains active and uses a cane only for extra balance, getting up and then down the steep steps of the church's baptistery is a fairly strenuous workout for someone his age. The demographer for the central office of Alabama's Southern Baptists believes that Thompson may be the oldest baptism candidate they have heard of.
