Bible question

I obeyed the gospel at a young age, but understand so much more now about what it means to follow Christ. Should I be re-baptized?

This is a situation that many teens and older people face - did I know enough when I was baptized? Only you can answer that question, but as you think about it, there are two additional questions you need to consider, including . . .

Was I baptized with an understanding that I was giving my life to God?

Was I baptized with the understanding my sins would be forgiven?

The question isn't, "Did I know everything about baptism when I was baptized?", but "Did I understand enough to know what I was doing?"

If you think about these things and are still uncertain as to your status, then I would say you should be baptized again to satisfy the matter in your own mind.
