This little kid couldn't wait to get baptised

The preacher obviously wasn't quick enough for him.

A six-year-old boy from the States was in no mood to hang around at his baptism over the weekend.

Impatient to get things over with at the West End Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, Jordan Warrick had the congregation in stitches when he plunged into the water shouting "Do it!" before the pastor could finish his blessing.

He then emerged crying out: "I'm baptized!" despite thinking the water was "too cold", according to his father Terrence.

Terrence told abc's Good Morning America show: "The whole congregation busted out laughing", while his mother, Inda Swift, said: "I was excited. I was shocked. I wasn't expecting it."

Inda said Jordan had been talking about nothing else all year except his baptism, while his dad explained: "He always said he wanted to go to heaven to see his brother."

Jordan has had to have several operations since his twin brother died when the pair were born three months premature.
