I am a Born Again Christian.

I was raised in the Methodist church, and was also baptized as an infant (sprinkled with water). I find nothing wrong with that...i believe it is just a statement from the parents to God, saying that they want to raise up the child to be a follower of Him...it doesn't make the child become saved, and of course there is no guarentee by doing that, that the child will walk with God in their future years.

I now attend a Baptist church and feel that once you are saved (have repented, accepted Christ and want to live your life for Him), that it is important to become baptized as an adult (or whenever that time was that you became a Christian). This baptism is a public display of your faith to God...before the congregation...if you are not truely saved, and have not asked God to take over your life, and truely walk with Him, then you shouldn't become baptised. This baptism is by submersion.

I, as a child, asked Christ to come into my life an save me. However, for me personally, i don't believe that i actually became "born again", until i was older (early teens), and i was sitting in a conference in my school (Christian school), and a man teaching there one day, just said some things that clicked with me, and i felt that i had been calling myself a Christian all of those years, but not truely walking with the Lord. And no one, but myself and the Lord would ever have known...but i just felt like, now i am really gonna start living my life for Christ. And i truely became a born again Christian at that point in my life. You might ask what i mean by becoming "born again"...i had believed in God before, and read the bible, attended church, but i was lacking the personal, close relationship that I now have with Jesus...and i hadn't realized it until that day. Christ is my Savior, Father, Friend...whom i love with all of me.
