Rebaptism: What is your position?

[Sava]

If the orthodox churches are so great why is everyone in Russia going to hell?

Reading the BiBle is against my religion.

That´s a pity ... it contains loads of sex, crime and violence

Our church didn't have a rebaptism, but it did have a confirmation (or something like that) for for new members and children who had grown up in the church and were ready to join as adult members. Sort of like a baptism without the water.

Likewise for the protestant churches here in germany

I believe in reionization. Not so sure about rebaptism.

[Ben Kenobi]

My church is opposed to it, but I believe in it.

Go join a Mennonite church. Oops, Mennonites are Trinitarian, so they won't be acceptable either.

My position - "one baptism for the forgiveness of sins" in the Nicene Creed. You can't rebaptise like you cannot remarry. You don't get a do-over on sacraments.

[Ben Kenobi]

Kid, if you've been baptised, the Orthodox won't baptise you again.

Then what the hell happened in MBFGW?

A do over?!

I'm not going to accept your word regarding Mennonites. I'm sure they are much more accepting than you.

So you're discrediting one of the only two people who agree with you regarding catholic creeds?

Ephesians 4:5

One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Let's get together and feel all right.

The Bible makes quite clear there is only one baptism - in the Acts and letters. Saint Paul has a lot to say about it.

Some fringe churches have interpreted that to mean their baptism is the only baptism - but that seems to be more about trying to bind their members to that particular church in many cases. The same churches tend to say they are always right and everyone else is going hell, which is ridiculous and in fact blahsphemous - you will know them by their works.
