Some people feel very reticent to be baptized after having already had what they thought was a 'baptism' of some sort, either by sprinkling as a baby, or by full immersion in another church. However, before baptism there must be repentance and proper belief of the true Gospel (Acts 2:38; Mark 16:15,16).
Watu wengi wanahisi kutofanya lolote kabisa kubatizwa baada ya kuwa tayari walifanya kile kinachodhaniwa kuwa ulikuwa ni "ubatizo" wa namna fulani aidha kwa kunyunyuziwa maji akiwa mtoto mchanga, au kuzamishwa kwenye maji mengi katika kanisa lingine. Ingawa hivyo, kabla ya ubatizo inabidi pawepo toba na imani sahihi ya Injili ya kweli (Mdo 2:38; Marko 16:15,16).
