Twice baptised, twice dead.

[chriscomplex]

I was baptised when I was 2 by my traditionalist parents, then again at the Mormon Church when I was older.

Firstly, why do parents who are not Christian follow hollow tradition?

Secondly, is my Mormon baptism valid? I don't think so.

No your Mormon baptism is not valid because they do not follow Jesus.

I have no idea! It does seem strange though.
My external family isn't religious yet they go all out for Christmas, Easter, weddings, infant baptisms and funerals.

For my parents it is exclusively about family, nothing more.

Makes me spew.

Neither baptism is valid .
Baptism is done through repentance .to repent means to change your mind and go another way .infants do not pocess the ability to do this.

And mormanism is and utter lie.
And you will need to repent of ever being a part of it and renounce it to follow Jesus.

 

[ByTheSpirit]

Ok.

If you seek to be baptized, and you should if you want to live for Christ, all you need to do is locate another Christian (not Mormon) believer who has themselves been baptized and ask them to do it. No need for either of you to have special training or some special anointing or calling. Simple follow the pattern of scripture.

You repent of your sins (turn away from them, die to them)
Then you get immersed in water in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.
Then you can receive the Holy Spirit and truly be a vessel for Christ.

I joined the Mormon church because they love bombed me into self extinction.

Infant baptism is part of state tradition in many countries. My sense (not knowing for sure) is that before secular government records, a person's baptismal certificate served as a birth certificate. So, it's difficult for people in those countries to not follow the baptismal tradition, even if they've lost Christian faith.

A Mormon baptism wouldn't be considered valid, because it's a non-Trinitarian baptism.

I'm a Lifeist, I should have put on seeker. But I am not seeking for the creator anymore, I found all the answers I'm looking for because life showed me.

I like the lifest idea but I'm sad even if it's understandable that such a series of unfortunate witnesses have put you off Christ.

 

[HereIStand]

Yeah I know.

I see. What brought you to Christian Forums?

Personally, I don't consider baptism to be a hollow tradition. And I don't know your parents' thoughts about it.

Secondly, is my Mormon baptism valid? I don't think so.

It's not.
