What happens to your sin when you are baptized?

What baptism are you talking about? Infant baptism? Baptism of believers? Well the answer is much the same. Nothing happens to your sin when you are baptized.

A believers baptism is a sign of the believers identifying with Christ in that Christ was buried and rose again the believer is buried (in water) and rises again to a new life. Infant baptism??? well there is nothing in the Bible that teaches infant baptism.

Does the Trinity United Church Of Christ believe in baptism for remission of sins?

You were baptized as a baby Must you now be re baptized as a 75 year old adult?

If you believe that the baptism of infants is valid then no. If you believe that baptism is required as a testimony of the new life a believer has started on following genuine repentance and acceptance of Christ as Saviour then you will realize that the sprinkling received as a baby was not in line with this definition.Therefore you remain unbaptized and you wouldn't be getting re- baptized. Basically, you need to repent of your sins before they can be removed by God. Infants cannot do this so you are unbaptized if you "got wet" as an infant. Further, the purpose of baptism is to place you in an obedient position for God to remove your sins. Remember, Peter told us we need to repent AND be baptized to remove our sins (Acts 2:38). Unfortunately few teach this today. And now why delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).


Can you be baptized in a christian church after you were already baptized catholic?

No. As Christians, we believe in 'one baptism for the remission of sins.' You cannot be baptized twice. As long as you were baptized using the formula: "....I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," then your baptism was perfectly valid and it does not need to be repeated.
