At 9 years of age, I was baptized in Jesus' name. When I was in my late teens and early 20's, I left the "church" and instead attended a mainstream, trinitarian church. I fell into some sin, but my heart was always soft towards the Lord. My main issues at the time were dealing with bitterness towards hurts I had experienced growing up in the UPC. After a few years, God shook me up and I realized that I could never reconcile the idea of a Trinitarian God in my head. I knew that it was not truth. And the
Acts 2:38 message was one that I could never get away from. After repenting, I turned back to the truth and began attending a church that preached the oneness,
Acts 2:38 message.
Several years passed and I began to question my baptism. Only because I was so young at the time, and I feel the need to perhaps be baptized again.
This idea has continued to hang around and I have prayed and sought God's wisdom on this. I've lived for God for a long time now and have raised my children in the church. I do not want to cause confusion, but I was wondering and hoping that maybe someone on this forum has felt the same thing or has a different perspective on this.
I question why we encourage young children to be baptized at such a young age, and whether or not they can truly "repent"?
