YouTuber Joe Weller has been baptised, after announcing two months ago that he had come to faith.

“I used to think this was some silly dunk in the water,” Weller shared on social media. “But having experienced the complete spiritual renewing that I received from the Holy Spirit in this journey that only Jesus can gift us, I am so excited to declare that I have been crucified with Christ.”

“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me,” he added.

Weller told followers that he was “grateful for the freedom from darkness and deception of this world and to be led in the Holy Spirit.”

The video of his baptism has garnered over 1.1 million views online. 

The 30-year-old has been making YouTube content since 2012, and has over 5.32 million subscribers. 

In June, Weller shared a video of him sat in his car, declaring that he had met Jesus. 

“I have tried everything - everything to feel genuinely fulfilled and at peace,” the YouTuber said. “Work, diet, travel... fame, money. I tried everything that seemed like it could work for me.

“[Jesus] never gave up on me. When I was at rock bottom, and the only place I could turn was to Him… I am so, so grateful that he never gave up on me.”
