I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins - Nicene Creed
Hi everyone. In the Nicene Creed it states, "I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins". Does this mean that one cannot be re-baptized if they feel the need to be?
Baptism is a symbolic act to show outwardly what has already happened inwardly. Only believers should be baptized. I have seen believers baptize again as a re-dedication of their faith if they have faltered and things like that.
BTW- As a Baptist, I do not uphold any creeds.

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.- Our Lord and Savior.

I know what baptism is but thanks for the definition anyway. That said, I also do not uphold any creeds as a Baptist but I do believe the Nicene and Apostles Creeds to be good definitions of orthodox Christianity.

And that is all they are used for here, to define what is and what isn't considered "Orthodox" Christianity.
God Bless
Till all are one.

All a man has that he can call his own are his principles, compromise them and he has nothing.
