Are Backsliders Required to be Re-baptized?
Bro. Chosenbyone,
If you believe you are being led by the Holy Ghost to be baptized as
an adult although you were baptized as a "child", I would go for it. They
that are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Children should
look for parents for direction. Grown men and women at some point should
learn to look to God for direction. Paul said when he was a child, he did
childish things, had childish thoughts, etc. BUT when he became a man
he put away childish things. Jesus told His disciples that He DID only the
things His Father told Him. And said He spoke what the Father (Spirit)
told Him. Jesus was Spirit-led. Paul was so sensitive to the Spirit after
his "fall" on the Damascus road. David was sensitive after his "fall" with
Bathsheba, Samson was humbled greatly after his natural eyes were put
out. Many people have realized after their "fall" the things that are truly
important. The prodigal son was humbled in the pig pen. His father called
for the best robe, but I have a feeling the son longed for a "good washing"
or cleasning. His elder brother didn't feel he deserved anything. He had never
been to the "pig pen". I am sure he didn't feel he needed to be washed and
cleansed from anything. He had never gone anywhere, but what a terrible
attitude he had toward his brother who had left but came back home. Where
else could he have gone. After you've lived in the Father's house, there's
just no other place like home.
Now why do I believe the Holy Ghost is leading Bro. Chosenbyone!
You don't think the enemy is wanting him to have the Name of Jesus
called over him, do you! If you've never been where someone's been
you can't relate to their experience. I wouldn't want anyone else to
make my decisions for me. I know my Father personally! His Name is
JESUS!! Bro. Chosenbyone is an adult, he knows the Father. He wants
to be cleaned from where he has been, by the Blood of the Lamb and
by the word of his testimony!!
May we all seek to be led by the Spirit of Almighty God, in Jesus Name!
Jesus said "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me".
Blessings,
