Baptisim.

[Yogi Bear]

This has been nagging at for a while.
I'm not sure if I should get baptised again, would it help with all the problems and barriers that are in my life. Would it help me to praise GOD, would it wipe all that is bad out of my life again?

Yogi - why did u get baptised the 1st time ?
What do your pastor(s) say about baptising u again ?

 

[Christ's Minister]

Water baptism,although it is essential,does not change us.It's just a ceremony during which we make a formal and public profession of our faith.
The baptism that does change us is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit because when God grants us that,the Holy Spirit enters us and makes us more Christ-like.Increase your spiritual activities to draw closer to God and then keep asking Him to send you His Baptism of the Holy Spirit for a true life-saving experience that is a requirement for salvation.

Most of what needs changing in our lives requires understanding, sometimes inner healing, trust and obedience. Sometimes we also need experienced Christian advice and counsel to give us further insight and understanding.

Re baptism is just another way some pople look for change - some 'instant' experience that will transform me without any of the above required. That is not biblical Christianity, just Christian pollyana.

Christs - nice to hear someone right on the need for the 2 baptisms (though I wouldn't say it needs to be public, it can be just you and the baptiser).

John - amen, baptism if understood, shows you want to "make straight paths for The Lord", but u still gotta follow Him.

Being baptised again won't help. Rededicating or recommiting your life to Jesus would help more. Do it on purpose, pick a time and private place and lay yourself before the Lord and repent of any sin you know of and tell Him you give yourself to Him as a living sacrifice. Then ask Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Cry out to him and ask Him to show you the way...then trust that He will. Keep having close personal times with Him everyday and get stuck into finding out who He really is in His Word. As you look to Him and find out who He is... you will find out who you are.

(Rom 12:1) Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

(Rom 12:2) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

There is "one baptism for the remission of sin." You don't need to repeat it. There are ways to renew your baptism: confessing your sins to God, and repeating (and meaning it) whatever baptismal vows you made. If you didn't make any, then repeat the Nicene Creed, and make it your baptismal vow.

Most of all, remember that God wants to save you, and think on what He has already done for you and for all of us to accomplish that!
