A baby here -

I was baptised as a baby and I guess I see it as a welcome to the family of the church. A promise that the child will be nurtured and guided by the community of the church.
I was confirmed at 11 years and I see that as the point where I chose to acknowledge a faith in God. Publicly declaring my beliefs at the time. But only fully understood Jesus and truly believed at 28 years. It was Good Friday this year even though I prayed a prayer of acceptance at 17. Each of these steps have been important to me. I have believed in God all my life. I began to learn about Jesus. I accepted Jesus as a part of God and then I accepted Jesus as the saviour of my soul. Baby, 11 years, 17 years and 28 years, each step steered me to where I am now. I aim to go to church to be re-confirmed as an adult following my commitment to God. Sleepy wakes for Jesus

I was baptised a month ago, in the sea on the Isle of Wight durning a youth camp. It was an awesome moment, even though it was a rainy, cold day! Several of us got baptised on the same day from the youth at the church that I go to. After I felt an inner peace that I had never felt before and issues that I had held on to, left so now I feel free from any burdens. The Lord also spoke to me so now I have a better relationship with my Lord. Praise the Lord!
God Bless Maryxxx |

Therefore I was baptised at age 14, without thinking it would be for the second time (which I think the bible says isn't supposed to happen. Don't remember where it says that though). |
