Yes... we should worship and stop from time to time to ask God... "Can you hear me now?"
Our pastor loves to use the phrase "you're not hearing me". I always quietly turn to my wife and say "I heard him... did you hear him?"
There have been times in a sermon or Bible study, a minister would say, C'mom! you're getting too quite on me!
I wanted to say, "Hey, we're listening to ya"!!! LOL!

Indeed. Sometimes we are quiet because we're soaking it in... and, uhhh, sometimes that's not the reason.
Some of you shall not surely die, that is, IF you're "alive and remain" so among the other living inhabitants of the earth unto the coming of the Lord (i.e, the rapture of the church).
That one is scripture.
1 Corinthians 15:51 KJV (51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
Sleeping is dying. Not everyone will die. But all (dead or living) shall be changed.

I haven't found any record yet. Some were disciples of John and would have probably been baptized while John was baptizing, and they also baptized, so some may have been baptized during Jesus ministry. However, I have yet to find where it's recorded that they were baptized or rebaptized after Jesus' crucifixion. Paul is the only writer that talks about his baptism or whose baptism is mentioned.
Thought maybe if I narrowed it down you could find what I haven't.

Haven't you been paying attention? You don't have to do anything.
