well being baptised as a baby didn't do shit for me, i don't remember it and now i read pay gorn and love women. honestly i think my mum baptised me mostly so she could throw a christening party, and maybe that's why it didn't work out for me. reply
Yes, it's tradition here to be baptized as a baby... even if you're not religious lmao. Neither me nor my parents were ever religious but idk, it's just the norm. Same thing for communion, confirmation, getting married in a church and studying religion at school, it's just what everybody does without necessarily putting much meaning into it reply
Hi! I'm from a Full Gospel-Evangelical Church. I was baptized when I was 13 years old and now I'm 26.
Being baptized does not mean you'll be instantly changed and completely good and holy. It's neither a way to be saved.
Being baptized is just a symbol of your commitment to God.
So you being reluctant to do it when you think you are not ready is a...... 2 reply
Was born to a Protestant family and got baptized as a baby so i didn't remember a thing. I'm a closeted atheist now lmfao. But i do remember and cherish the times where my belief in God gave me comfort at hard times i was dealing as a kid. I just don't like the communities much, especially since I've always been forced to go to church and got yelle...... reply
i considered myself as an agnostic (leaning to atheistic) now, however, i was born and raised in a family of Catholic. back then, i was young when i was baptized, younger than 10. if i’m right, it’s done twice—when you’re a baby and then the ‘final’ act of baptism, i guess.
pretty much the whole little community i grew up with people w...... reply
Born and raised catholic, I was baptised as a baby and it's really got nothing to do with being closer to God in the personal, spiritual sense that you're thinking of.
I'll spare you the details since @yuki hime has already got it covered (not that ik much anyways lmao) but a fun fact is that catholic babies are encouraged to get them baptised ea...... reply
my mother's family are full of born again christians, with three uncles being pastors. my father's was full of catholics, (though my father practiced filipino folk and christian witchcraft) so i think i might have some say in this topic.
having been baptized at the age of 11, i can say that baptism isn't something a kid should be experiencing. it ...... 1 reply
I'm actually curious if people doing translations of fanslation here gets paid. Especially some recognizable ppl like Akumakira (idk if that's how you spell it, I apologize in advance) or if they're just a devotee of the said manga/hua/hwa and they want to upload it here. In some cases though, there are already watermarks in the pages. I'm not saying I'm complaining that they're doing such jobs!!! Afterall, I'm also a reader of their translation. I'm just curious, is all.
Don't know, I was a baby at the time. It's like a customary in our family to do it before turning 1yr old. It's one way to be closer to God, yes but there's still a lot after that, like communion and marriage or something. Am I closer to God rn? Yes reply
Baptized as a baby, parents did it to me so I had no choice :) Being baptized thru your own volition now would depend on your personal relationship with your religion....so your Mom wanting it for you is ok but truly just take your time to see if it is something you truly want, would it mean anything to you etc....cool you are asking if anyone old...... reply
From what I have studied, Catholics baptise infants because of 2 main reasons. One is to consecrate the child to God and give the child a foundation and somewhere he will always belong, the faith and the Kingdom of Heaven. Second when we are born, we are born with flesh and all flesh unfortunately bears original sin. Because even babies can die une...... reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
