Bible Question: thought when I was 16 that I was saved, I was baptised at 16, through years of trial and tribulations I now understand that I was not saved, I have accepted Jesus now as my Lord and Savior, is it ok to be baptised again since I was not saved at 16?? |
Bible Answer: There's nothing wrong with being baptised as you describe above. But if you want to get it all straight in your mind and others who might read this, there can only be one baptism per person. In this case with you, the first time you had doubts, therefore you just got wet. Thanks be to God, He always wants us to enter the church with full confidence and faith in Him and His Son. So go ahead and get yourself baptized as quickly as possible just like the Phillipian jailer. There's no shame in admitting this kind of thing. That's one reason there should be no big rush to get our kids baptized. It's really something they should study and figure out for themselves, or maybe with a little subtle questioning and answering from their parents. I was baptized at 12 years of age and have had my fair share of a sinful life thereafter. Each individual's baptism is a very personal thing between that person and their God. God bless you in being humble and submissive enough to think about this and your desire to make your salvation certain. |
