How Soon After Accepting Christ Were You Baptized?

[Nevada77]

JUST CURIOUS? I HAVE NOT YET BEEN BAPTIZED.

Both My Wife and I accepted Christ on April 25th when Duane and Iris Blue came and spoke at our church. We were both baptized this past sunday.:)

There was no option for accepting Christ after you were baptised. ;)

Great to hear that 2004 has been a special year for all of you!!

Any particular reason why you haven't been baptised yet, Nevada77?

I have accepted Christ 2 months ago and I've been asking our Minister for a Baptism. He said he will organise one within this month. He said in the old days they used to baptise pretty much as soon as you are converted but I wanted to be baptised by immersion in a river which is why it is taking so long because we cant find a shallow and clean spot by the river we are near. :(

I accepted Christ on September 3, 1999. I wasn't baptized until two summers after though, because I wanted my uncle, who is a pastor, to do it. He lives in Florida, so I had to wait for a chance to go down there.

I haven't been baptized yet. I'm thinking around Christmas time. I just want to read the Bible, and learn more before I do. :)

I wasn't baptized for years after I was saved. I didn't know I was supposed to or what it meant. No one explained it to me, and I went to a Baptist church. Yeah, there were a lot of problems with that church, but at least they preached the Gospel accurately.

[TheListener]

My initial reaction was I'm not completely saved until I'm baptised but I was told that if I'm saved, I'm a Christian. Baptism is good, as an external symbolisation, but it doesn't mean we aren't saved until we are baptised. But I kept asking anyway. :)

Aaand... :)

Spoke to the Minister yesterday. Looks like I'm getting baptised at the end of this month. Woohoo!!! :) :)

Why is there no option for ppl who were baptised as babys? It is a very common practice.

Personally tho, I wasnt baptised for a few years after becoming Christian, I knew it was a big thing and wanted to know more about it first so I studied Christianity for a while and baptism speciffically for a while before deciding. Now I am studying Christianity full time (Bachelor of Theology).

Long story short, don't feel pressure to rush it.

I was baptized 14 years after I was saved. Yeah, that was a long time to delay it. I was saved when I was 6 so the whole ordeal scared me. Even when i finally got baptized at 19 is was pretty scared but in the end the feeling was undescribeable.

[Nevada77]

I didn't really understand about the whole born again baptism (adult baptism) Iwas also told that although I should do it I should felt as though I was lead from God to do it and when.

After monthes of waiting until I felt lead to be baptised I finally do. This past weekend I talked to the Pastor of my church and told him that I wanted to be baptised. he is putting me on the list and will be arranging a night to do it soon.
YEAH!!!!!:clap: :amen:

Praise God.

[wheredaluv]

Praise God for your obedience to His command! May you draw closer to Him as you take this blessed step. Let us know how it turns out.

[2Timothy2]

Praise the Lord, that's great to hear Nevada. It is wonderful that you are sensitive to His leading, keep it up. :thumbsup:

[CeCe]

Praise the Lord Nevada!!:clap:

I came to Christ in the fall of 2002 and still haven't been baptized but intend to at some point.

[Bonhoffer]

Theres no option for 3 months.

[CeCe]

I'm not following...:scratch:

Do you mean your pastor (assuming that's the person) is not baptizing anyone for 3 months or makes each person wait 3 months. I don't understand.

[The_Lords_Froggy]

My parents don't want me to get baptized yet, they want me to find a good church to 'settle' down into and stay there. Methinks that as soon as I hit eighteen and am off at college, this little froggy's going to get baptized..whether she swims or drowns! =) God bless.

[CeCe]

:thumbsup: God bless you. :hug:

I was baptized 5 days after recieving Christ.

[tigeroz84]

I accepted Christ as my Saviour 2 years ago but I haven't been baptised yet coz I'm not sure. I haven't committed my whole life to God and maybe that's why I'm not sure about getting baptised coz somehow I always think that baptism is a commitment.

[CeCe]

In my case it's more of a lack of a person I actually trust to do it. I don't take it lightly. I've not even taken communion because I haven't been baptized. At least for me it seems "out of order".

[PaladinGirl]

I've been saved since I was about 13 or 14 and I am still not yet baptised. I hope to be baptised within the coming months though. Hopefully within the coming weeks.
