There is only one baptism. I rededicate myself to the lord and Trinity every day. Try that. Public rededication can be useful too.

Rededicating your life to God is always a good thing. This is between you, and God.If you have the need to do this than go for it. After you rededicate you might find a good youth program, and have fellowship with them. I work with allot of unsaved people and I get strength from fellowship with other Christians.

I think that is a wonderful idea. We all need to be baptized in the Lord once in our lives, however it is acceptable to be rebaptized and rededicate yourself anytime you feel that you have understood new light and feel a deeper connection with the Lord.

If you feel called by god and you wish to answer the call there is nothing wrong with a re-dedication.
As far as what kind of life you want to lead I guess that would be based on what denomination you are. Just live a life that makes you happy while showing God in everything you do.
If you feel the calling you must answer either way.

I believe you are doing the right thing. God will honor your rededication. I hope you can and will truely repent and start serving Him. God Bless my friend.

Talk with your parents and your church elders ... I don't think you are ready to 'rededicate" what you do not seem to understand. You also might want to investigate other beliefs before you do this .... at 17, you probably have a lot more questions than answers. Seek the answers within yourself before you make a spiritual committment to any philosophy.

The unholy spirit is the one who gets people involved in vicious cycles, it is pure evil. The Holy Spirit knows what you need, you must learn to focus on Her. You have underlying needs that are hidden from your conscious mind. Only The Holy Spirit can reveal them to you so that as a team you can figure out the best way to fulfill those needs. When you are having your needs satisfied, resisting temptation will be a piece of cake.

My dear you are going through a conversion. Be prepared to go through many of them in the course of your life - especially if you have one of those sensitive souls that leans almost naturally to Lord. Look forward to an exciting life full of new revelations.
Peace and God bless.

your baptism is sufficient, you don't need to be re baptised. rededicate your life by your actions and bonding in relationship to christ and the church.

being baptised is not being saved. you are doing good to rededicte your life to the lord. if you want to be baptisted againg that is up to you. but i don't think that you have to.
