Without a doubt you should be baptized if you are now a born again believer in Christ. Being baptized as a baby has no biblical basis and does not follow the plan put forth by Jesus himself to be baptized AFTER becoming a believer.

Guest Teditis Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think that getting re-baptized is a good idea. As an adult you're more aware of what you're doing it what it all means... it's an act of obedience out of a loving heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in the bible does it say infants are not to be Baptized? Book, Chapter and verse please. Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words there is no example in the NT of a baby being baptized. Also, the plan put forth by Jesus was salvation then baptism, not the other way around. Beneficially speaking all baptizing a baby does it get it wet, there is ZERO spiritual significance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, then, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received,2.with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, 3. striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: 4. one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; 5. one Lord, one faith, "ONE BAPTISM"; 6. one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Not baptism first then believing in Jesus. So yes, you believe you should then do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
