I'm starting to panic. <br /><br />TETH: Email me your location and I'll see what I can come up with. It is true that there are many places where there is no PB church. May I ask why you are tied to living where you do? I know another brother who moved from California to Alabama so that he could join the Primitive Baptist church after encountering and being delighted by the truths we proclaim. Everyone's situation is a little different, but have you considered moving? It might be a very good thing for you. <br /><br />RC: I'm worried that I'll be rebaptised by the wrong person <br /><br />TETH: I guess it's obvious that I would recommend that you be baptized by an Elder of the Primitive Baptist church, provided you believe as we do. <br /><br />RC: and I'm also worried that my improper baptism might be the reason for my weakness in resisting temptation. <br /><br />TETH: I don't know if that is true but I sincerely doubt that this is the case. I assume that your profession of faith was sincere at the time you were baptized the first time. But if you are to be rebaptised, you should certainly do it with the people who believe as you do - the Primitive Baptist church if this is indeed your belief. <br /><br />RC: I don't know what to do for fear of doing wrong.<br /><br />TETH: I would not be rebaptised until you were being baptised by those who believe as you do. To do otherwise is sort of like saying, "I was baptised a Catholic but now that I've heard the truth of the Primitive Baptists I've decided to be rebaptised by a Presbyterian." That doesn't make good sense to me. <br /><br />RC: Furthermore, I'm not sure that my pastor was even baptised by immersion. <br /><br />TETH: Then he himself is not properly baptised. This will only lead you to the same dilemma again a short while later after the newness of thinking you did the right thing wears off, IMO. <br /><br />RC: I don't know why I'm so frantic about this.<br /><br />TETH: You shouldn't be frantic about it, I don't think. But it is a matter that deserves sober consideration. That said it's probably best to discuss this via email rather than in the comments section of the blog. You know where to reach me. :)<br /><br />I'll close by reiterating that you might ought to give moving some real consideration.<br /><br />God bless, <br />TETH theearstohearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331127432012852113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636101379916124937.post-61096162399827433062017-05-02T16:34:13.447-05:002017-05-02T16:34:13.447-05:00Furthermore, I'm not sure that my pastor was e...Furthermore, I'm not sure that my pastor was even baptised by immersion.
