Bear with me
I know that there has been so many questions about baptism, but I just needed to ask my own
so here we go
I am a some what new Christian
I mean, I was brought up in a Christian Family, back slided when I was in my teens, met my husband, who was a Christian, believed again, but didn't so it in the open ( I know I know my bad )
Thought I was a Christian, but I so wasn't...
Walked into a new church one day, and was healed... Gave my heart my all to Jesus, and asked him to forgive me of all my sins...
I feel now that I have truly repent, of my sins, I am now reading the bible daily, prayer daily, putting God frist... Having a personal relationship with Christ.
And our church is have a baptism coming up in the next month, I really want to do this... I have never been baptised before.
I told my husband, and I kind of got the impression that he thinks that, before you are baptised you must be hmmmmmmmmmmm how can I put this?????
You should be real with GOD??
IYKWIM???
It is almost like he says that, before you are baptised, you should look at yourself frist, because it is a serious thing...
But then, I'm thinking
well, isn't, accepting Jesus, what is all about??? You accept Jesus and you Repent...
I kind of get the feeling that he thinks that before anyone gets baptised, you should do a bible study on it, and measure yourself, to see weather or not you are worthy???
Doesn't that beat the purpose???
I mean, we will at one time or another make mistakes in our Christian walk. We are not perfect, and we all fall short of the gorly of God.
Does anyone have any answers?? and bible verses to back it up???
I have a few on hand, as my husband and I will talk more about it in the weekend.
Just need more info...
oh and if anyone has been baptised lately.. can you share?
TIA
