Much later in life after having formed a very personal relationship with Jesus, I <i>chose</i> to be baptized. I do not believe that God would forsake any child because he/she was not baptized as an infant. Nor an adult. I believe we are saved based on what is in our hearts and that means Jesus.

As a believer in our Lord Jesus we want to follow His example and be baptised. Blessings to you my friend.

We believe this premise because the scripture talks about whole families, (bring your household i.e. servants and children) to be baptized. I don't believe that full immersion is entirely necessary, although I love the idea of it... especially going to the creek or the river like so many of my ancestors have done. Basically I believe that it is not the actual water or the actual immersion or the actual act that cleanses and makes new. It is the Holy Spirit working in it that makes you new. The Holy Spirit that was released when Jesus was resurrected... which is what baptism symbolizes, (it was, and is, a very tangible act that Christ gave us so we might better understand what he was about to go through...?) Interesting topic of discussion, especially when we agree that Jesus is our beloved Savior!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09610496342255540894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643654861670171975.post-87466755983676239102010-12-09T13:01:39.020-05:002010-12-09T13:01:39.020-05:00My daughter was baptized when she was ten years ol...My daughter was baptized when she was ten years old by sprinkling in a Methodist church. At age 39, she was re-baptized in a Baptist church by immersion. She says the immersion is much more meaningful to her.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417401195683808500noreply@blogger.com
