Good topic Nic, I have thought of this often too.
I was baptized in 1982 back when the question where not about dedicating your life to an organization.
I would like to get baptized again, once I feel ready for it, a little more study and mediation on what I believe is still in order.
I would like to get the basics down so I can pass them on to my kids. My husband is doing alot of deep study,,,, he has always been a student of the bible and now is reading it with new "eyes". Eyes of knowledge and freedom from cult dogma. I still look to him as my spiritual head in many ways, because I think he is gifted with a better understanding of the deep spiritual things than I am. I am not one to just read and understand,,,,,,, he can always help me to reason and understand things in away that reaches my heart.
We have discussed already celebrating the Memorial, or whatever it is really called, our of respect and thanks for what Jesus has done for us. So I think baptizing the children , once we study with them would be our next step. They all 3 still believe in God and Jesus.
I think it is good to be dedicated to God and believe that he will resurrect us to heaven or earth. To me it will be a peaceful feeling knowing my children are saved and they believe it. You never know when something could happen and our lives my end sooner than we want. It would be a good feeling for my kids to know they are not alone out there, if they should pass. It is hard to say, it is hard to think about , but my youngest son, is always asking questions about what happens when we die. I think he NEEDS to believe in something. I don't know all the answers to what happens to us. But I want to believe , I do believe for the most part, but I need to work on my faith too. I try to tell him that as long as we love Jesus and trust him we will be saved. He still worries about armeggedon.
