Infant baptism is based on the Abrahamic covenant. I has Scriptural support.

I agree Mark –
The meaning from baptism only comes when we realize that God does the work, and not us. As a parent, I believe that having my daughter baptized as an infant shows my promise to raise her up in Christ, but it is only the Father, though Christ, that can provide salvation.

I was baptized as an infant when I was 11 years old.

That's an original just for you. I had high hopes you'd like it.

Feel free to use it with your friends. As in, “Don't come in here throwing straw babies around…give me something solid!” Ok, I'll stop.

I don't think it's a matter of 'needing' a re-do baptism. But do you want one? Is God going to suddenly disown you because in your desire to grow closer to him and have a stronger experiential relationship you wanted a 2nd baptism? (of course not) If you want to get re-baptized, even if you don't 'need' to, you may want to consider doing it.

I'd say the benefit of going through a baptism with a recentering and richer understanding of what it means is far more beneficial than NOT getting baptized again...only because you were baptized previously.

What I mean, is that I see the benefits of getting re-baptized and do not see benefits of NOT getting re-baptized...though not getting re-baptized shows consequences of regret or longing over the lost opportunity, and getting re-baptized seems to have no consequences in my mind.

Amy … Love your thoughts. You mention wanting to experience “believer's baptism” while also believing that your infant baptism “took.” Do the two have to be mutually exclusive?
