Bible Question: Let me change the question slightly then to why should a person be rebaptised? Why should I talk to my local congregation? Perhaps they are wrong. I see nothing in the bible, which is my authority, that says anyone should be baptised twice. The only case that I can find is Acts 19:1-7 and the first baptism was that of John. |
Bible Answer: Hi, New.. If your congregation is wrong, where would you want to be a member there? Well, be that as it may, it is conceivable that one would want to be baptized anew if one felt that the first baptism was invalid in some way, perhaps due to the church where it was performed, the manner in which it was perform, or minister performing the baptism. Or perhaps one might be concerned that at the time of the last baptism one was not actually saved. All of these points would be perfectly valid, and yet, your authority has nothing to say about it. When you have an authority, it is a good idea to know that authority so well that you can properly interpolate an acceptable response without fear of violating your standard. In Him, Doc |
