How do you get un-baptized?

Question

Its being done in england, and no one I know knows how its done. its rather interesting

Answer 1

baptism is something a person CHOOSES for themselves as a symbol of the inword change in their hearts once they accept Christ. if someone else 'chose' this for you, say, as a child... then you were only 'dedicated' and not baptized (unless you again, CHOSE to accept that as your baptism AFTER you have accepted/chosen to follow Jesus)

if you change your mind and decide you do not want to follow Jesus, you just tell him... and he will let you go... but baptism is just a symbol and you wouldnt necessarily have to 'undo' it

Answer 2

In the 1500's there was what was called the Anabaptist,or those who were re-baptized.The catholic church was, and still is baptizing infants.The catholic church was putting these people to death for this decision.The scriptures tell us to "repent and be baptized" Acts 2:38.An infant cannot repent nor does it need to until it comes to accountability.John the Baptist gives testimony: "Behold the Lamb of God,which taketh away the (sin) of the world" John 1:29b.Note that at this time it says sin and not sins.And what was the sin of the world?it was the sin that had been passed down from Adam.This is why Jesus was Baptized of John to show that through Him original sin had been washed away.He had no sin and did not have need of baptism."He that (believeth) and is baptized shall be saved; but he that (believeth not) shall be damened" Mark 16:16.We all know that an infant cannot believe therefore it is innocent of sin.That is why Jesus when holding a child on His lap said "..Verily I say unto you,Except you be converted,and become as (little children),ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 18:3. Gen. 2:25 says that Adam and Eve were naked and they were not ashamed.That is because they were clothed with the Glory of God.As Christians we call this our "white robes" Revelation 7:9c. these robes were purchased by the Blood of the Lamb Revelation 7:13-14.Adam did not know that he was naked until he sinned.It was then that he needed a Savior.It was then that he needed to repent and be baptized.Every one who was baptized as an infant needs to repent and be baptized in the name of the Father,the Son and the Holy Ghost.Amen!

Answer 3

Baptizim is a ceremony. I don't know that you can be un-baptized, unless you just don't accept the faith. To do that you just have to say you don't accept the faith. I was baptized Catholic against my Protestant mother's wishes. She was in the hospital after I was born and my Catholic grandmother took me home and had me baptized. That's the only time I ever entered a Catholic church. I don't consider myself Catholic, so maybe that's a form of un-baptizm.

Answer 4

You'd have to get un-baptized the same way you get uncircumcised (you can't) since it's the same thing -- God's covenant with His people. But since God didn't recognize Esau's circumcision, that means that unless He has called you, He very well may not recognize some infant baptisms either. That's a bad thing, by the way.

Answer 5

I was raised to believe that there is nothing you can do personally to be "Baptized." Rather, it is a ceremony symbolizing a gift God gives to you. With that logic, since it is a gift from God, you can't "undo" it, and I don't believe he would take it away from anyone.

Answer 6

I've never heard of such a thing. I don't think you can. Once you've been claimed for Christ...you can't unclaim yourself. But I do think you can still choose to go to hell...so they do have that option.

Answer 7

Uhh... Take a dust bath?

Singe your clothes?

Ceremonially towel yourself off and declare yourself "baptism-free?"

In some ways it's a set-up to say that you cannot reverse your baptism. I left my church when I asked my minister-dad to remove my name from the church rolls. Some churches, though, in order to boost their numbers, mislead others about the membership by never removing anyone until they die.

Answer 8

Answer 9

It's one of those, "what's done is done" kind of actions.
