It means you have taken a step of faith. That means by showing others that you are a born again christian.When you are dunked in water it is a symbol that the old self dies and the new self comes back as a clean spirit.

Can you be re-baptized?

Yes. There is scriptural precedent for being re-baptized: Acts 19:3-5 - And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" So they said, "Into John's baptism." Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.


Were the twelve apostles of Jesus baptized?

We don't know. However, it was very likely that many of them were originally disciples of John the Baptist (e.g. Philip, Nathaniel) and so, as a result, may well have been baptised. But there are no records of baptism among the disciples. I don't think they have gotten baptized physically but spiritually they already have been baptized for Jesus baptized with fire and whoever believes in Him is granted eternal life.


Who baptized Paul?

What happens to a saved person if they are not baptized before they die?

To my knowledge, there is nothing in the Bible which directly states the answer to this question. I believe that if a person is truly saved, they will go to heaven whether or not they are baptized. Baptism is not a requirement for salvation; rather it is an act of obedience. It is an outward sign of an inward change. Some people will die before they have a chance to get baptized, but if you are truly a Christian I would strongly suggest that you get baptized.

What is the reason why Jesus was baptized by John?

Jesus fulfilled Scripture when he was water baptized. But He was not baptized for His sins- He was sinless. When Jesus was baptized, He was baptized with the Holy Spirit, and with the Spirit came power. Jesus never performed any miracles before he was baptized. He had the Holy spirit, but he was not baptized with the full power of the Spirit until John baptized him.
