Are Backsliders Required to be Re-baptized?
Hello, AFF -
I've been out of pocket during the last few weeks and I've had this question daily on my mind. Now, I learned all the scriptures that support our doctrine; however, I've had trouble discounting the need of being baptized again for the remission of sins after walking away from God and being involved with horrible sin.
I backslid and came back to our merciful Savior, but I've been troubled in my spirit about the need to wash all those sins under the blood through the act of baptism. Has anyone heard of this being practice in our churches?
Any scripturally based answers that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
chosenbyone
