Joshua Bassett, one of the stars of Disney’s “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” was baptized at Bethel Church located in Redding, California on Sunday.
The singer also shared a video clip on Twitter and Instagram as he gave his confession of faith in Jesus Christ.
“Hi, my name is Joshua,” he said as the video showed him standing on the stage at the church. “And long story short, I grew up Christian, and I ran the other way as far as I could go in pursuit of ‘truth,’ and that only ended in addiction, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, etc.
“And no other teacher gave me anywhere near the peace that Jesus Christ did. And I’m here to publicly declare Him as my Lord and Savior,” Bassett added as the audience broke into cheers and applause.
The short 28-second video has garnered more than 406,000 likes on Instagram alone since it was posted three days ago.
Another 8-second video posted to Twitter showed Bassett’s baptism.
As CBN News reported earlier this month, Bassett, 22, tweeted about his newfound faith in Jesus on Jan. 5, writing in a tweet: “Jesus Christ is the only way. His death and resurrection are historically documented. Turn away from hate, seek forgiveness and come home to Him.”
