adult baptism


Dear friends,

Many of us are baptized when we were a baby. But to oversee all the consequences of baptism you must be an adult. Its so beautiful to consider baptism in all his meanings.

I mean conversion and forgiveness of sin, buried with Christ to resurrect in anew life,the washing of sin and a new life start.

Amazing near comes the Father of light through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.Buried in the deadwaters of sin and lost, rising in glory with the Lord of living in a new life.

Its so symbolic that I consider a re- baptism, not that the children baptism is without worth, but to realise and confess all what I believe and that I wanted to belong to the Lord all my life.

'Your old sin-loving nature was buried with him by baptism when he died, and when God the Father,with glorious power, brought him back to life again, you were given his wonderful new life to enjoy.'
Romans 6:4

'For in baptism you see how your old, evil nature died with him and was buried with him; and then you came out of death with him into a new life because you trusted the Word of the mighty God who raised Christ from the dead.'
Colossians 3:12

'Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given to you; and be sure of this: That I am with you always, even to the end of the world.'
