Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino got baptised

Roberto Firmino shared videos of his baptism attended by team-mate Alisson. The ceremony took place in the forward's own swimming pool with friends. Firmino is currently one of the best strikers in the Premier League.

Liverpool star Roberto Firmino shared a video of his baptism attended by his team-mate Alisson Becker. The ceremony was led by Brazilian gospel singer Isaias Saad and a group of backing singers. The majority of people in attending the event were wearing t-shirts associated with the global Hillsong Church (with a cross-equals-love logo on it).

Firmino’s baptism appears to be part of a move into the Hillsong Church evangelical group, which goalkeeper Alisson is part of.

Firmino who is now 28 married his wife Larissa at a Catholic church in Brazil in June 2017 but he has now been welcomed into the evangelical group as part of this week’s ceremony. The Liverpool striker is not the first Brazilian to openly show his faith to the world. Brazilian football stars Neymar Jr. and David Luiz never hided their belief in Jesus Christ either.
