I've realized after all that Satanism is a bunch of BS. I called my mother in Norway and I talked to her about it. She seemed so happy to talk to me. She said to read the bible tonight and go to church in the morning. I'm seriously considering this. I want to accept Christ as my lord and savior! I might get baptized soon. How does that work? Thank you!

You tell the pastor, "Hey, I'd like to be baptized." Then you get baptized. :)

It's a bit different than that. There's a difference between getting dunked in water and being baptised. Some choice and dedication in belief is involved, otherwise the ritual is pointless.

What does it mean if you did it so you could get the crackers and juice during the lords supper?

Seeing as the Lord's supper was supposedly some 2000 years ago, I would say it wouldn't mean much. Also, seeing as you don't need to be baptised to partake in communion, that really is a stupid question. Obviously the baptism didn't mean anything.

It was my parents. They wanted me to be baptized first before they let me do it

I think a lot of people don't realise the weight behind a baptism, and what it really means. I'm not religious, but I was bought up in a Christian family, and my understanding has always been that a baptism is an integral part of being a Christian, but it's also a big conscious choice to make. When I look back at my baptism, it didn't mean anything to me. I have always thought that you can only be baptised once (I realise that people often get baptised more than once, but this is my opinion), and from what I have been told, you can ask God to bring you back to that moment. But, seeing as I'm Agnostic, that exercise would be pretty pointless for me.
