I was baptized in 1989, I think, which would have made me 15 years old. That kind of tangible public declaration of faith was something I was pleased and honored to do. I think I would have appreciated that more a few years later, but the significance was not lost on me. But as far as my relationship with God goes, I don't think there was really any change at all, except for being something I could do to nurture it. > > Same with me, except I was baptized last fall.
For me, my mother was planning to get me baptised(I'm only 12)next month, but my father had already made plans to go on vacation and booked a hotel and everything already so the plan was nixed. As of now, I have no idea when I'm going to get baptised, since my church strangely does mass baptism and holds it only once(at most twice) a year.
