Why does my church keeping trying to baptize me?

This is the fifth or sixth time they've tried. Every time I try to swim away in the kiddie pool. Why won't they understand that I don't want to be baptized?

    Maybe you should stay out of the kiddie pool then.

    I have to assume this is a joke in very poor taste... I have never heard of any church that wants to baptize anyone who doesn't want to be baptized... it would make no sense. Adult Baptism is called believers baptism.... it is an outward public demonstration of what has already happened in your life... what would be the point of just ducking people at random?

    Baptism needs to be voluntary. You need to want to symbolically put your old life to death and rise in newness of a spiritual life with God. From what you share, it doesn't sound like that's what you want. Why not discuss this with your spiritual leader?
