He shared the special moment on his Instagram page, stating, “Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life.”
“No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!” he added.
Although the comments on this event brought some judgment from skeptics, Hogan’s faith journey has been a lifetime event.
Back in April, he posted about his connection to Jesus Christ on X, formerly Twitter. He stated, “I accepted Christ as my savior at 14yrs old, and the training, prayers and vitamins kept me in the game but now that I am one with God.”

“The main event theme of surrender,service and love makes me the Real Main Event that can slam any giant of any size through the power of my Lord and Savior and so it is,even now brother,AMEN!” he added.
A return to faith is being experienced across the nation and in other countries worldwide.
The Christian Post reported that “The Inside Story” podcast noted how mass baptisms are making a return to American culture.
In September, over 1,000 students attended a Texas A&M faith event, which oversaw the baptism of 124 individuals, via the Christian Post.
In May, the Christian Index noted the Lifeway Christian Resources Annual Church Profile recorded that baptisms went up 16% nationally in 2022.
In addition, The Pillar reported that while infant baptisms are lulling, there has been a significant increase in older child baptisms, displaying how people are passing on their faith through less traditional means but may be allowing children to decide for themselves as they grow.
Adult baptisms are also on the rise in other nations. The Catholic Herald confirmed that France experienced a 50% increase in adult baptisms since 2021.
In 2020, the Catholic News Agency reported that adult baptisms in Belgium rose 61% after 2019.
Hulk Hogan’s recent baptism took place at the Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Florida, and his post displays him wearing a simple gold crucifix while also helping his wife, Sky Daily Hogan, to accept Jesus Christ as her savior.
