I was baptized on January 2nd 2005,i got baptized because the bible tells me i have to to be saved,and that my sins may be washed away. not by the water but by the blood of Jesus applied when we baptize in his Name! without baptism you are still in your old sins and have not been forgiven

I was baptised March 7, 1999. I was baptised cause Jesus commanded us to do so. Not for salvation, but a outward showing of what Christ has done on the inside. Romans 6:1-4.

When I was around 11 or 12. Because I loved Jesus and I accepted Him as my saviour and Lord. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Baptism:
By baptism we confess our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and testify of our death to sin and of our purpose to walk in newness of life. Thus we acknowledge Christ as Lord and Saviour, become His people, and are received as members by His church. Baptism is a symbol of our union with Christ, the forgiveness of our sins, and our reception of the Holy Spirit. It is by immersion in water and is contingent on an affirmation of faith in Jesus and evidence of repentance of sin. It follows instruction in the Holy Scriptures and acceptance of their teachings. (Rom. 6:1-6; Col. 2:12, 13; Acts 16:30-33; 22:16; 2:38; Matt. 28:19, 20.)

I was baptisted when I was 10 years old. Christ commanded us to follow HIm in Baptism. It is an outward expression of an inward change. You do not have to be baptisted to be saved though. The baptism represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Yes, June 1999. I accepted Christ into my heart during altar call at Vacation Bible School that month. I decided it was time to stop running from Christ and start running with Him.

Yes. When I got saved, i was baptized. As a Christian, when we come to God, we should follow Him, and be Baptized. Then live for Jesus. We should be a witness for Him, and tell others how to be saved.

Yes, I converted to Christianity and was baptized when I was a teenager. Later I matured and came to my senses.

I was bapised in 2004, because I needed to be saved of my sins, and start a new life with Christ! Glad that I did it!

Baptized and confirmed! Baptized as a baby, confirmed in 8th grade, never believed a word of it. That's just what my parents made me do.

yes. Sept. 16, 1984 (month after I was born basically). My parents wanted me to be in case anything happened to me, for one thing. I'm sure it would have happened later (by my own choice) if it hadn't happened then.
