Toward the end of December in 2023, WWE star Hulk Hogan took to Instagram to announce that he had been baptized, telling fans, “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!” He has since explained the heartwarming way in which people from all over the world responded to the news and encouraged him.
Holgan did so in a post on X (formerly Twitter) in which he thanked those from all over the world who messaged him with encouraging notes after he went public with his faith and intention to live life for Jesus, adding that life is good and all is well.
In the tweet about the worldwide reaction to his newfound faith in Christ and public baptism into God’s Church, Hogan said, “It’s amazing how many emails and messages I’m getting from around the world now that everyone knows I am one with and am living my life for Christ! All is well even now,joyful,happy,life is good,thank you God Amen! HH”
Such support could be seen in comments on his original Instagram post, with people chiming in with their thoughts and encouragement. One, for example, said, “Ah this … especially at this time of year, when all wise men seek Him — and realize: The good things in life are not so much health but holiness, not riches in this world, but real relationship with God; not so much our plans, *but His presence* — and He withholds= no good thing from us because the greatest things aren’t ever things — but hope in Jesus who is *everything*”
Others said things like “God Bless You Brother, getting close to God Almighty is the only way to go…” and “Congratulations!!! Welcome to the Kingdom!!! Those are going to be some fire sermons when God releases you to preach 😂”
Similarly, commenting on his post on X about the messages of support from around the world, many others left their positive thoughts about his baptism and faith. One commenter, for example, said, “You accepting Christ and getting baptized was the best news I’ve heard in a long time. You’re going to do awesome work, Hulk!”
In a similar vein, another commenter said, “Welcome to the family! I look forward to spending Eternity with you, worshiping the One we were made for, in the Place we were made for!” Joining in, another added, “Brother, this is beautiful to hear about. I cannot more strongly encourage you to saturate your mind in the Scriptures. It is the key to your growth in Christ and knowing the Lord intimately.”
