Hi my wonderful friends! I know that God has been working on my heart because for the last 2 weeks, all I can think about is being re-baptized (by full immersion) in my Christian church. I was baptized as a baby Catholic. I thought 100% that I was completely saved after giving my heart, mind, soul and life to the Lord. I have confessed, spoken with my mouth, repented for my sins and walked a life trusting God as my Savior for quite some time now.
I joined the World Bible Study online and my teacher there tells me that I am "NOT" saved, because without baptism (not Catholic baptism) by full immersion, I am not saved. He put the fear in me fast. My pastor is in Honduras with my husband, but he did tell me that he would perform a baptism for me if I wanted when he gets back next week.(this was a prior request before my teacher told me this) I want to do that because I have never done a full immersion baptism and that is what my church believes in, but as far as being saved, am I already saved? I thought that baptism was more of a symbol of being saved, the death and resurrection of our Savior. Now he has me panicking saying I better get down there and get SAVED because I never truly was (the World Bible Study teacher). Can you guys help me and let me know what is right and wrong?
