I was baptised when i was younger but i didnt live the christian life like i should. I didnt go to church as much as i should and i have struggled with repeated sin. I never quit trusting or believing in God though or asking for his help in this life. My question is maybe i was too young to understand baptism and i wanna rededicate my life to christ. Should i be rebaptised?

You are believing in a corrupted and degenerate Christianity. Have you lived as a true Christian within Christianity? No. Surely, you have served God alongside the world and material things.
The so-called faith within the church—where one cannot help but repeat sin and repentance, sin and repentance until death—is nothing but a lifelong faith of hearing, a faith of words alone. Though you have not lived the life of a true Christian, you go to church and imagine that merely attending is the true Christian life. Such an attitude disgraces the love of the cross, betrays God who is love, and rejects His will. This is a faith that is wrong and distorted from the very beginning.
Have you been an example and model like the light and salt? While attending church, did you pursue the love that sacrifices even your life before all people? Even now you live in this corrupted and degenerate sin, continually regretting, repenting, and yet returning to sin again. This has been repeated from the very first time you went to church—you simply did not recognize the repetition of your sins. Christians are not true disciples of Christ. The form of Christianity that seeks only one’s own happiness, blessings, and prosperity is nothing but a vain faith that seeks after the lust of the eyes and the pride of life all through a lifetime.
Thus, without exception, they end up with a carnal and worldly faith, praying only for family problems, business problems, workplace problems, affection problems, children’s problems, and health problems. Today, praying only for such worldly matters is the religion of all heresies and the grim reality of today’s religious people.
Christianity is not following Christ’s faith. Salvation does not come through Christianity. Only those who, by following the will of God, bear fruit and yield the harvest of the love of the cross, will reach salvation. Truth is to receive the divine power that follows after the love of God. Truth is not a sermon that merely inspires through words and lips, or teachings of speech. Truth is what leads one to obtain the divine power that follows after the love of Christ, getting the nature of God, and this is the truth that leads to salvation.
But today, Christianity—rotted to the core, corrupted beyond measure, and stinking with decay that fills the whole earth—offers only vain prayers that seek after the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, prayers directed solely toward one’s own happiness and blessings.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.(2 Corinthians 7 : 10)
The faith of Christianity that pursues one’s own hopes, desires, ideals, and cravings is a faith that inevitably becomes an enemy and adversary before God, for it is a faith in which demons, pretending to be God and pretending to be Christ, inevitably work. Carnal faith produces only habits that endlessly repeat sin.
The faith of Christians who spend their whole lives sinning and repenting, sinning and repenting, only piles up sins worthy of death—sins of envy, jealousy, strife, hatred, lust, pride, and lies—that they cannot help but repeat until the day they die.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.(Romans 1 : 28~32)
Because they continually rationalize and excuse their repeated sins, their consciences grow dull toward sin, and their faith becomes increasingly bold, brazen, and shameless. Such shameless faith, which pretends to be like God and pretends to be true Christian within Christianity, has already departed from being the example and model of salt and light, and instead dishonors God and profanes the love of the cross. Your faith, from the very beginning, has never departed from such a path; it is nothing but the crooked and twisted faith of a mere religionist, not that of a true Christian. Christians, rather than living the life of Christ, live only for the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, yet they regard themselves as though they were true Christians. Because they worship God together with the world and material wealth, they accept all manner of heresies, corruptions, and lies as though they were faith. The form of faith they cling to is the reality of today’s Christianity, where they teach and learn according to their own tastes, following the emotions of their hearts, as though the imaginary god they created were the true God of truth.
The Word commands you to repent. The faith of Christians, who cannot escape the human limits of never being reborn, never being changed, and never being transformed, is completely different from the faith of Christ. Most Christians, ignorant, foolish, and shameless, do not even realize that they are misusing the Word of God, betraying His will, and dishonoring the love of Christ.
Those who teach and those who learn are not salt and light, not examples and models, but rather are people whose behavior inside and outside the church is inconsistent, whose outward appearance does not match their inner reality, whose words do not match their deeds. They are religionists skilled only in duplicity, hypocrisy, pretense, and cunning ways of life. Thus, Christians themselves, rather than being for God, have become His greatest adversaries and enemies on this earth—they are the antichrists. Just like the Jews who claimed to believe in God, Christians and Catholics are bound within religions made by man, and therefore they cannot escape the limits of man. Under sermons that do nothing but repeat sin, Christians spend their lives in meaningless awakenings, resolutions, and determinations that change nothing, only piling up more and more sin. Such Christians are slaves of sin, children of the devil, not children of God. The children of God do not commit sin, but rather receive the power of God that sets them free from sin.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.(1 John 3 : 6~10)
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.(Romans 6 : 17~23)
