If you want to become part of the family of the people of God then baptism is the normative path by which that happens.hi, i am a christian from a christian family but none of us were baptized.we repent and all that stuff, but since we weren't baptized will we still go to hell?
plz answer quickly because i don't want to die tomorow and going to hell because i didnt get a bath in church.
Speak to the minister of your congregation. Technically any Christian can baptise, but it normally ought to be done by the minister of the congregation you are entering.if so where and how can we get baptized?
While almost all mainstream Christian traditions teach that baptism is the normative entry into God's people, few if any still maintain that someone not baptised is automatically excluded from the Kingdom.
Yes, well get baptised if you can. Is there something stopping you from getting baptised?better safe than sorry though, right?
It is better for you to say that you don't really know what Christians believe at all.Ahmad89 said:According to many Christians, yes you will

In the Christian Church the practice of baptism takes on a new and particular significance. It no longer remains merely a sign of moral change and spiritual rebirth. It becomes very specifically the act of a person's death and resurrection in and with Jesus. Christian baptism is man's participation in the event of Easter. It is a "new birth by water and the Holy Spirit" into the Kingdom of God (Jn 3:5).
Baptism in the Church begins with the rejection of Satan and the acceptance of Christ. Before being baptized, a person -- or his sponsors or godparents for him -- officially proclaims the symbol of Christian faith, the Creed. Because the godparent speaks on behalf of the child, sponsors his entrance into the Church and "receives" the child out of the baptismal waters into the Church and cares for his spiritual life, the godparent himself must be a member of the Church.
After the proclamation of faith, the baptismal water is prayed over and blessed as the sign of the goodness of God's creation. The person to be baptized is also prayed over and blessed with sanctified oil as the sign that his creation by God is holy and good. And then, after the solemn proclamation of "Alleluia" (God be praised), the person is immersed three times in the water in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Through the act of immersion, the baptized person dies to this world and is born again in the resurrection of Christ into eternal life. He is clothed with the "garments of salvation" symbolized by the white baptismal robe which is the "new humanity" of Jesus himself who is the new and heavenly Adam (See Jn 3, Rom 5, 1 Cor 15). Thus, the words of the Apostle Paul are chanted as the newly-baptized is led in procession around the baptismal font three times as the symbol of his procession to the Kingdom of God and his entrance into eternal life: "For as many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Alleluia" (Gal 3:27).
In ancient times this procession was made from the baptistery to the church where the newly-baptized received Holy Communion at the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Baptisms were normally done in connection with the Easter Liturgy; our present procession around the church building on Easter night is nothing more than our remembrance that we are baptized, that we have left the life of this world to enter the eternal life of the Risen Christ in the Kingdom of God. This new life is given to us in the life of the Church, most specifically in the Divine Liturgy. Before the baptismal procession and the reading of the Epistle and the Gospel is fulfilled in the reception of Holy Communion, however, the newly-baptized is given the gift of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of Chrismation.
