Don't fret over it, nothing horrible is going to happen to you because you're not baptized. That is something you can decide for yourself when you get older.

It is never too late to get baptized. Whether you are baptized or not has nothing to do with demonic possession. Water baptism is a covenant sign, a public declaration of commitment to Jesus Christ. Water baptism has nothing to do with salvation. Water baptism never saved anyone. It is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that saves, and this happens when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Every Christian should go through public baptism to signify being part of the body of Christ. True baptism, that is baptism of the Holy Spirit is the conversion experience whereby a person receives the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. It is accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It is surrendering your life to Christ, putting away your personal rights and you personal agenda to serve God in a life that matches his plan for you. It is the true way to heaven.

You should not be baptised until you become a follower of Chirst.
The Bible says that baptism is the outward stand used to show the inward comitment you have made to Christ. It symbolizes being buried with Christ and being raised from the dead. It is used as a reflection of the change from the old man to the new Christian man. Baptisim it's self doesn't change you it is just a way you can outwardly show your decision to die to your old man.
Read Romans chapter 6. Baptisim is a symbol of what Paul is talking about.

Baptism is the process of being cleansed in the holy spirit by getting dunked in water. I'm a christian and I haven't been baptiesed either becuase when I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Savior, I was cleansed.
Most churches use water baptism because John the baptist used the river of Jordan to baptize Jesus. But it really isn't nesicary because Jesus died to cleanse us of sin.
As for becoming possesed, you have nothing to worry about. If you walk with God and Jesus, you'll be in good hands.

No it's not true that you can be possessed for not being baptized.
You can be baptized at any point in your life that you are willing to make a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
Baptism is not necessary to salvation as proven by the thief on the cross who was never baptized, but was still saved by faith in the Lord.

Baptism is a church ritual. It has not power over spirit practices. Those are found in the paranormal, mystical, etc. and should be approached with a good of deal of caution until more is known.

Baptism is the idea that God was not smart enough to have made you right the first time.
I think that God was.
What do you think.
Most of the people in the world are not baptized and I have never heard of any of them being possessed except in religious mythology.
Think about it.

Baptism literally means "immersed".
Some branches of Christianity say a person should be baptised at birth, but there's no time limit, so you can be baptised now.
Ironically, the Baptists believe you cannot be baptised until you understand what it means. They only do adult baptisms.

Tell your parents that you want to be baptized. If you are unable to talk to them talk to another adult like an aunt or uncle etc.
It is never too late. My sister and her husband took me to be baptized when I was 13 also. Baptism,specifically immersion(having your whole body dunked in water)symbolizes your death of sin and being reborn in Jesus.
God Bless You!

No you don't get posessed because you were not baptised. Baptism is for people who have accepted Jesus, and if you believe that Jesus is your Saviour you should be baptised, go to church and tell them you want to be baptised, but don't have a fit........there is no huge rush.
