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,
