Hi Sierra21, Please find an excerpt from a piece on "What the Bible Says about Baptism" below. I did a series of Bible studies last year and found this piece very informative. If you'd like you can read the entire article here: http://www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring...ism_129441.html Blessings.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It has been interesting seeing the different views on whether or not re-baptism is necessary. I believe that baptism is a personal act of obedience that everyone should do once they've accepted Jesus Christ. As for re-baptism as many have stated, I do not believe it is necessary even if one has turned away from the faith. Repenting and asking God for forgiveness is sufficient. I believe if re-baptism is necessary then we would probably (let's be real) have to be re-baptized every day. Anyway, I heard the question on a TV program and thought I'd ask it here. Blessings to all.

I am not going to say Jesus because I sit with Him daily. 1. Lucifer (yes the enemy)....because I would want to look him in the eyes and ask him why was he so foolish? And no, I wouldn't be afraid because Jesus would be sitting next to me. 2. Charles Stanley 3. My Grandmother

Is it necessary to be rebaptized if one "backslid"/turned away from God?

This is from Biblestudy.org Q. What is the difference between praise and worship? A. First, let's look at the dictionary definition of worship and praise. The following is from the New Illustrated Webster's Dictionary (c.1992): Worship - 1.The act or feeling of adoration or homage; the paying of religious reverence, as in prayer, praise, etc. 2. The act or feeling of deference, respect, or honor toward virtue, power, or the like. 3. Excessive or ardent admiration; also, the object of such love or admiration. 4. A title of honor in addressing persons of station. Praise - verb: 1. To express approval and commendation of; applaud, eulogize. 2. To express adoration of; glorify (God, etc). noun: 1.Commendation expressed, as of a person for his virtues, or concerning meritorious actions; utterance of approval; honor given; also, applause. 2. Thanksgiving for blessings conferred; laudation to God; worship expressed in song. 3. The object, ground, reason, or subject of praise. By comparing the two definitions, we can first see that praise is part of our worship of Almighty God. We express our approval, thankfulness, and respect for Almighty God by offering praises to Him. Praises then become part of our worship of the Great God. Worship involves more than praise. In our worship of God, we show our love through obeying His commandments, living the way of life He has revealed through His written word, the Bible, communicating with Him in prayer, meeting and fellowshipping with other believers, and in offering praises to Him.

Enjoy your special day Luke. Happy Birthday
