Adult believers who were baptized as infants should consider being re-baptized — baptism is a ratification of a personal decision to follow Christ

Mike recommends re-baptism because (1) baptism is a ratification of a personal decision to follow Christ, and infant baptism precluded any such decision. He adds nuance: re-baptism is not required for salvation, but is appropriate and meaningful. Pastoral sensitivity: the decision may affect relationships with family, so consider timing and communication. He notes that infant-baptizing traditions recognize this felt need and invented confirmation to partially address it — but that is not a biblical ordinance, and baptism is.
