of course you can be baptised, again, it's when we become aware of it's meaning, as we don't when we are babies, it is only tradition of men then, share your desire with your Pastor.
I too was Baptised as a baby, I don't remember it, as you won't, it wasn't our decision then it is ours now though.

I got baptized when I was 13, because I thought that my Dad wanted me to. I never really understood why though. I was baptized about 8 months ago in my church about 3 months after I accepted Jesus as my personal savior and began my walk with God. I think that you should be baptized for your own personal reason, not for anyone else's, just like being saved only you can have a relationship with God no one else can have it for you.

praise all to God given Tondaleiyo
yes it is for our own personal desire we give our life to the Lord Jesus,
no else should be involved, unless they are helping you understand.

My husband once said was I pleased he was going to church for ME
my immediate reply, was it's lovely your going to church, but please
dont go for ME, go for yourself because you want to hear about Jesus.

Then months later I thanked him one time for going to church with me
he answered me and said, I didn't go for YOU I went because I wanted
to go for myself, he remebered.
It's taking time for him to surrender his life over to our Lord Jesus,
I do believe it's his few nights a month social drinking keeping him
from bowing the knee, but the Lord too will destroy those chains
and set him gloriously free.

Why do you believe you can't be baptised again?

wow, I was raised Anglican so I was with much the same Traditions you were, including infant baptisms. I was born again when I was 13(well 1wk before my 14th), I remember that so well because I was rebaptised. The vows in the baptism are meant to be a promise between you and Jesus since, He and you are the only 2 that know your heart and disire to life according to the laws of God and follow His example in life. Children are automatically children of God because of their innocents. If you feel we should be rebaptized when were are old enough to live and follow the Ministry of Christ. Infant baptisms are I feel a part of the same traditions of man that Jesus warned us of in the Gospels. Your heart seems sound if you feel that strongly get rebaptised but I hope we talk before that.
the Lord keep well in His Will >>> agape

Yes, I to was brought up Anglican, well C.O.I. but it's the same
and Baptised as a baby, my Mum was nuts on this baby Baptism
thing. It was because of her influence that my own children were
all baby Baptised also, C.O.I.

I dislike speaking about denominations, I would never say I was
this or that
I always answered when someone asked what church do you
belong to, 'Church of God, built by Jesus Christ'
only my last born son was dediacated by the Belfast City Mission and
it was done at home, it was lovely much better than my children
who were Baptised in Church and much more pleasing in God's eye's.

I was baptised February 2006. I don't know why it took so long.

I was baptised at the age of 16 by my own decision and haven't looked back scince. My life has been good scince then so I guess God has blessed me.

I though baptising babies was part of dedication (I never went to a Anglican or CofE church so forgive my ignorance on the subject) and the desicion to be baptised as a symbol of new life/ washing away old sins was different to that.
