Bible Question:
Can anyone enlighten me on why some denominations do not accept the baptism by immersersion, from other churches? This is the practice of some Baptists and I would like to know the scriptural support for this rebaptism. Thanks for your help. justme |
Bible Answer: I don't know which baptist you are talking about because although I am now penecostal I was raised in a baptist church and people were only rebaptised if they wanted to be just like at my present church I got rebaptised in nov to reafirm my faith and declare that as an adult i have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Now I do know that some baptist churches do say that inorder to become a member of their church you must be baptised regardless of if you were baptised before or not, this is not saying that you aren't saved but it's just a part of becoming a member of the church. |
