Think about what baptism is. All it is is a way to announce to the world that you are a Christian. It is a symbolic thing. It would be better if you did so you have better testimony to people.

∙ 11y agoProtestants often Baptise their children as infants. At these baptisms parents, other family, and members of the church promise to care for the child as their own and to raise him/her in a Christian manner.
The "Affirmation of Faith" is a sort of second baptism, where a person who has been baptized will announce publicly that they choose to follow the will of Christ and be a part of the church family at their own free will. This occurs anytime between early adolescence and death.
