Question
QUESTION: I was baptized when I was a baby. Does it count or i should do
it again?

ANSWER: MMm :¬) It may surprise you to know; the bible tells us "infant baptism" is not scriptural. Thats the first point.(Matthew 28:19, 20)

Secondly, God doesnt approve of ALL religions, so it would be best to find the correct one before getting baptised in it, dont you think? (Matthew 7;21-23)

If I can help in that regard let me know.

QUESTION: I'm familiar with that. My religion is Christianity. Do I have
to go to church to get baptized or I can do it with someone
else doing what has to be done? I've read that you can even do
it in the bath tube.  

Answer
Like I said;not all of "Christianity" is correct.

True Christianity involves several necessary Scriptural steps--

1.A person must take in knowledge of God’s Word. (John 17:3)

2.He needs to exercise faith and must repent over his past course, demonstrating true sorrow over it. (Acts 3:19)

3.Then he must convert, or turn around, and start engaging in right works that are in harmony with God’s will. (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:23, 24)

4.These steps are followed by his making a dedication to God in prayer and then getting baptized.—Matt. 16:24; 1 Pet. 3:21.

all the best
