Bible Discussion Thread

I don't believe that I should be baptized more than once. To me, that would be like murdering Jesus Christ again. He only died one time for all Gods children. I have waited all these yrs because I have been a terrible person full of sin! I actually studied the Bible several times in my life and was afraid that I would just mess up again and I did. But I saw a broadcast one day a few months ago that woke me up once again. I have a lot of scripture locked forever in my head. But this time is different and alive! I've always been that person who loves God & sincerely appreciated how much Love Jesus has, to surrender his life for mankind and the critters of this planet. But as a lifelong drug addiction has held tightly to me. I'm free now. I absolutely know that I will never ever return to that old life. I had tried maybe 50 times to lift that off of me. But failed. As I searched scriptures in my Bible while watching the pastor read them i was healed. I felt my lord & savior Jesus Christ reach hold of my heart and I heard his voice, not out loud but inside my heart! He said to me, ( if u would have me forever this time April I will heal that. I read my KJV Bible daily & watch the pastor for guidance. I haven't looked backwards. Nor will I ever again! So faithfully I remain to him. Its so beautiful I have tears daily, but instead of crying because I couldn't stop for so many years when that was what I truly did want. But I never realized I had to basically kick everyone out of my life, except for those who were Christian. I'm still growing strong in Christ! I have been Clean since May last year. No cravings for drugs, only for more word. I was actually messaging a person that has had a similar past , when I felt him( Jesus ) touch my heart again? As i had told her to join Jesus. She wasn't ready to give up sin so I told her goodbye. I'm not leaving God ever again. Shut my phone off & in the morning, she wanted to learn about her lord & savior Jesus. So I am helping her.

Love of Jesus I'm thankful that as you stated this time you really believe what you read and that was honored

and God made it known to you. Don't ever compromise your salvation is not worth it!

Amen. May God continue to bless your walk.

I have a comment regarding baptism- I don't see it as murdering Jesus. To me baptism is more a celebration of what Jesus has already done and publicly obeying and embracing Him through the symbolic act. It's a very positive thing, not a negative thing.

The Bible says nothing bad about being baptized more than once. Is it possible this idea originated from this verse about falling away from Jesus? Hebrews 6:4-6

Some who were baptized as kids who doubted there sincerity later in life should not hesitate to be baptized, especially if they feel led to do so. I was and I am so grateful I was. Only good can result from obeying Jesus, not bad. God bless.
