Baptism

Baptism- when youre baptised as a child, once as an adult(in cult) do you have to get baptised again after turning to Jesus?
Probably, some would say no, others yes, but, what is REALLY correct?

I believe there is only one baptism, and that is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, something we receive when we accept the teachings of Jesus.

If you feel you need to be water baptised again, then go for it, but I don't believe it's a necessity. What matters is the cleansing of the heart by the washing by the Word.

Hope that helps.

I think that if this ritual means a lot to you, you can baptize again.

Ephesians 4:5 says, "one Lord, one faith, one baptism,"

The Nicene Creed also states: "We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins."

Only the anabaptist attempt to persuade to rebaptize. To rebaptize is to communicate your doubt in your one and only baptism.

The only exception would be if you're baptized by Oneness Pentecostal or Jws etc.... then you were not truly baptized. One must believe in the Trinune God, being baptized in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
