Baptism

I too was baptized as a child (3 years old). I was what is called sprinkled and this was done since I had just been adopted by my new Christian parents. When I became an adult I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. This was only after many years of looking for love and acceptance through worldly means. I realized that my childhood baptizing was a an agreement that my parents made with God to raise me in a Christian home. After I was born-again I could not wait to be fully immersed in water baptism. Baptizing is a sign to people that you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and since babies do not know what sin is their baptizing is Biblical. At the time I was baptized there was a elderly woman (who has since gone on to heaven), that was rebaptized even though she had been immersed. She had gone away from the Lord for several years and she felt that she should be baptized again. Her obedience to what the Lord wanted her to do caused her husband of over 40 years of marriage to accept the Lord as his Savior. She had married this man in rebellion since she was a Christian and he was not even though he was a good man.
