Bible Question: Who are authorised to perform Baptism |
Bible Answer: skolaventy: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! Youask a very good question. In reality any believer can baptise a Christian needing to be baptised. The big issue is that some if not many want you to be baptised under the churches authority. Some churhes and denominations require you be baptised again under their authority. My wife was re-baptised in a Southern Baptist Church. She was pleased to be a witness for the Lord, especially when she recieved Christ at the age of five, she was in her mid thirties at the time. I am reminded that often my pastor as a young boy use to say "here is water what hinders you from being baptised?" Hope this helps. Justme |
