Hey Marie.  That's cool.  I was "baptized" twice too.  Not sure I've ever heard of anyone else doing that.  Although I don't have hte excuse that I was a baby the first time..   ;).  I got baptized around 10 or 12 in one church and then tried to fit in with another church and they redid it "in case the first on didnt' take".  Like we were planing tomatoes or somethign...put an extra seed in in case the first one deosnt' grow.  Ha ha ha ha.  I actually nearly got kicked out of my house for the second one.  :-\  And I never felt anything either.  It's definitely all spiritual and it amazes me how blinded people must truly be to not be able to see that.  Ah well, all in God's time...

Hi all,

I got "baptised" 3 times.  First time, as a teenager in a Baptist church, went forward cuz my friend went up and I was afraid of hell.

The 2nd time was as a Lutheran.  I took the classes and yes me, a married adult, stood with all the 14 year olds and got confirmed & sprinkled.

The 3rd time was at an old time penteccostal/Branham followers church and my feeling was that this time was the charm-I really meant it!!

Our 3 kids didn't get baptised at church as kids, but one day I found my Lutheran mother in law "sprinklling" the kids in the bathtub, just in case!!! Ha.  I was really mad tho and made her listen to scripture. She never "got" it tho.  Stayed a strong Lutheran till she passed.

Love,
gena
