John the Baptist said he was preparing the people's hearts to believe in Jesus when he arrived. He was announcing that the Messiah, or Christ, was about to show Himself. We need only to be baptized once in the Name of Jesus to be identified as a Christian, but often one can be inspired and fulfilled by volunteering for another baptism later in life. Maybe when I was a baby. I probably need to talk to some one about this.
Baptism is just the beginning.
It is never too late to confess one's sins and look for a better way of growing in spirit. When one is perplexed about the forgiving power of Jesus or about the Christian faith, he should see a pastor or counselor of a church. This could be the most important business decision he ever makes. I guess I could find out by trying. People who are devout Christians seem to have an inner peace that has escaped me, that's for sure.
