Tell him you only acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. A second one is not needed.

Baptism. I remember when I "decided to follow Jesus". At 7. I was a big deal supposedly. Not sure why now.

JESUS took the wheel and it was all a wreck from there.

I think he feels like he didn't earn enough sins by the age of 10 to justify the initial baptism.

How about you go, I assure you it would not be that bad to go and sit through it, plus Im sure it would actually mean the world to him.

Or you could just say no thanks, I dont really want too, too tired or something like that.

Its really not that difficult

This. You know, act like a grown up instead of a whiny little 14 year old girl.

Just go get baptized somewhere else that morning. You'd love to go but conflicting schedules and all.

Sounds like he's learning from his mistakes, getting his shite together and you sound insecure about it.

If he was asking you to go to a AA meeting cause he needed help, other than the water baptism, would you go?

Are you mad that he doesn't find you sexually attractive any more?

I'm glad I'm heterosexual. Gay folks have so much drama.

Some people can't do things in moderation. Wouldn't surprise me if he changes back into the party guy in a couple of months.

Family and significant others are the only people I feel should required to attend. If you don't want to go then don't.

Find out exactly when and where it is. Then at that time, be at a different place.

Sounds like you need to get him fricked up on Saturday. Tip the whole fricking wagon over. Get him back on that destructive path he was on. Viola, baptism cancelled and you get to sleep in.
