Is Lily Phillips' Baptism Real? What the Bible Says About True Repentance (And Why We Shouldn't Judge... But We Should Watch the Fruit)

Hey family! It's Beto here, with Mili right by my side, as always, sitting at the table sharing from the heart.

Today we want to talk openly about something that's blowing up online: the baptism of Lily Phillips, the OnlyFans creator famous for extreme challenges, who recently posted a video of her getting baptized and talking about "reconnecting with God."

First things first, let's be crystal clear: we're not here to throw stones or condemn anyone. We've all had dark chapters in our lives. We've fallen, we've doubted, we've wanted a fresh start. And we believe with everything in us that no one is too far gone for Jesus to reach. As He said Himself: "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Luke 5:32). Prostitutes, tax collectors, sinners—they all sat and ate with Him.

So if Lily is having a real encounter with God, we praise Him for it! We're genuinely praying for her.

But we're also honest with you, like we always are: this story raises real questions for us—and for many of you. In comments, Christian forums, and Google searches, people are asking the same things: Is this genuine? Can she stay in OnlyFans and truly follow Christ? Where's the repentance?

Let's break it down step by step, with the Bible open and without putting ourselves above anyone.

What Exactly Happened with Lily Phillips' Baptism?

Lily shared a video of her baptism in a church pool, with a pastor fully submerging her. She called it "a day to remember forever" and said it's about reinstating her relationship with God after deviating for a while. She mentioned her adult career is taking a "back seat" as she prioritizes other things in 2026.

But details have sparked skepticism: her explicit content is still up on OnlyFans, she's openly pro-choice and supports same-sex marriage (views that clash with traditional Christian teaching), and she says she's not a "traditional Christian."

Many are wondering: Is this a true turning point, or a rebranding/PR move?

Reactions in the Christian community are mixed—some pray and give grace, others call it lip service or a stunt.

We don't judge her heart (only God can do that), but we do look at fruit, just as Jesus taught in Matthew 7:16-20: "By their fruit you will recognize them." A good tree bears good fruit; a bad tree, bad fruit.

What the Bible Says About Baptism and True Repentance

Baptism isn't a magic ritual or a "reset button" for your image. In Scripture, it's a public step of obedience after a heart change.

John the Baptist made it plain: "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance... Do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father'" (Matthew 3:8-9).

It's not just getting wet—it's repenting genuinely.

Jesus started His ministry with: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near" (Matthew 4:17).

The perfect picture is Zacchaeus (Luke 19). Jesus enters his house, and without a long sermon, Zacchaeus feels the shift: "Lord, here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." Visible fruit. Actions change because the heart changed.

When Jesus truly comes in, there's inner conflict. I remember my own story, said Mili—when I received the Holy Spirit, I quit alcohol cold turkey after years of heavy struggle. It wasn't perfect (there were processes and slips), but there was a clear before and after.

The Spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). If someone claims to follow Jesus but their actions keep harming (themselves or others), something doesn't line up.

Can Someone in the Adult Industry Truly Be a Christian?

Absolutely—God saves anyone. There are powerful testimonies of former adult stars who left everything and now serve God (like Joshua Broome, who prays for Lily and says: "Give her grace, watch the process").

But genuine repentance brings change. It doesn't mean instant perfection (we're all in process), but it means direction: closing doors that harm, breaking habits, growing fruit.

If the content stays up, promoting things that fuel lust, addiction, and objectification, it raises questions. Not out of legalism, but love: Are we helping or stumbling others?

Jesus warned: "If anyone causes one of these little ones... to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea" (Matthew 18:6).

The Danger of Morbid Curiosity and How the Enemy Uses These Stories

This is why we paused before posting about it on the podcast: the enemy is cunning. He uses curiosity and morbid interest to tempt us.

Imagine: a "Christian" story about an OnlyFans star draws clicks. People check "out of curiosity"... and end up in temptation.

We know that in cities hosting men's Christian conferences, porn searches spike. The struggle is real, family.

That's why we held back: we don't want to give a platform out of morbid curiosity. Better to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves (Matthew 10:16).

We pray, watch for fruit, and guard our hearts.

Our Personal Experience: Grace, Truth, and Process

Mili and I have walked tough roads. Alcoholism; faith doubts and relapses. We know change isn't always linear. There are steps back. But there's always conflict: "Does this honor Jesus or not?"

If Lily's process is real, let's extend grace. If not, time will show it.

Practical Challenge: Apply This Today

We don't leave you with just theory. Here's the actionable part, like we always do:

1. Pray for Lily (and others in similar spots): Ask God to work genuinely in her heart, bring true freedom, and close doors that hurt.

2. Examine your own heart: Are there areas where you say "I follow Jesus" but your actions don't match? Be honest. Talk to a trusted mentor or friend.

3. Seek real help if you're struggling with porn or addiction: Don't join groups that enable ("We're all human, we all fall"). Find someone who's walked out victorious, with real freedom over time. Ministries like Celebrate Recovery or solid mentors guide with truth and love.

4. Be wise about what you consume: If something tempts you, close the tab. Guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23).

If you're battling this, drop us a comment or DM. You're not alone.

Jesus truly transforms lives, step by step, with grace and power.

Family, time will reveal the fruit. In the meantime, let's walk humbly, pray for one another, and live intentionally for Him.

With lots of love and hope,

Beto and Mili
