Should you be baptized even if you aren’t sure you should be baptized?

Question:

If there is a baptism coming up, and you don’t feel sure you want to be baptized, should you go ahead and be baptized anyway?



Answer:

It pleases the Lord when His redeemed ones obey His Word and are baptized according to the Scriptures.  If you don’t understand what baptism is for, or why the Lord wants you to be baptized, you should study God’s Word and/or ask an older brother about baptism.  Some good portions to read are:  Matthew 18:17-20, Acts 8:26-39 and Romans 6:3-6.
