A Baptism Question
I have been born again for more than three years and have not been baptized. We don’t have a church that believes like I do, only the Dutch Reformed church. I live in South Africa. As I guess you’ll know the Dutch reformed church believes in replacement theology and practices infant baptism.
Q. Thanks for the great job in blessing us with this insightful website. I have two questions and need help please.
1. This might sound silly but I want to know if daydreaming is a sin. I’m not talking about lusting, or impure thoughts. Just plain daydreaming. As I want to do right in the eyes of my Lord.
2. I have been born again for more than three years and have not been baptized. We don’t have a church that believes like I do, only the Dutch Reformed church. I live in South Africa. As I guess you’ll know the Dutch reformed church believes in replacement theology and practices infant baptism. There is no other church in our
town or surrounding towns. Can my wife baptize me as she is the only person I can ask that I’m certain off that is born again? Please help!!!!!!!
I must just mention I believe the exact same as you do. I don’t go to church as I have none to go to. I spend a lot of time on the web and fellowship in that manner. So I don’t really have to explain how great a blessing your website is to me. What I learn here I preach to my wife and daughter, it helps them a lot. So thanks, thanks, thanks.
A. There’s nothing wrong with a little daydreaming unless it becomes such a distraction that it prevents you from accomplishing your responsibilities to God and family.
Infant baptism is really a Christening ceremony where a baby is dedicated to the Lord by his or her parents. It probably began as an adaptation of the Jewish circumcision. In the early church it was distinguished from baptism which was a public confession of faith by a person old enough to understand its implications. Later, in some churches that don’t stress the importance of being born again, the two were combined. Many adults who become born again and leave their liberal church for a more evangelical one feel the desire to be baptized again.
The Bible says that a thing is established on the testimony of two or three witnesses. (Deut. 19:15) Any true believer can baptize another. The inclusion of two or three witnesses (also believers) firmly establishes the matter in Heaven.
