i was born and raised in a christan family. my dad was a deacon at the church and my mom volunteered when she could. i was just there. going to church was a chore to me. when i turned around 12 my mom bothered me non-stop about getting baptized. i gave in at 14 and got baptized, but for the wrong reasons.
im 17 and this year ive had a total make-over of my faith, i have a faith of my own now. my friends have helped me out alot including some teachers. but i always come back to one question, my baptism. was it real? if i died tonight where would i go? i did it for the wrong reasons, to get my mom off my back. i was pressured into at the time.
my family is against re-baptizing people. is there anywhere in scripture that it says its wrong? i want to do this, i want to do it for me, not for my mom, for me. i feel like something is missing in my life, and this is the missing puzzle piece. getting re-baptized for the right reasons. but why would my parents see anything wrong with it?
