[Bertha and Her Baptism by Nehemiah Adams]@TWC D-Link bookBertha and Her Baptism CHAPTER Sixth 33/37
We do better to be apart, and it is no reflection upon either side to say this.
A Paedobaptist church ought to maintain its principles by requiring assent to its standard of faith; yet, where there is no church of a different denomination, within convenient distance, I surely would not exclude a child of God from the Lord's Supper for differences of opinion and practice about baptism.
I would admit, by special vote, to occasional, or even to stated communion, in such a case. _Mr.M._ Do you ever re-baptize? _Dr.D._ Where a person was baptized with water, in the name of the Trinity, by an authorized person, of any denomination, I would not re-baptize.
The alleged heterodox or immoral character of the administrator, at the time of baptism, does not invalidate it; otherwise, one might be baptized many times, and, the administrators proving unworthy, the subject could never get baptized.
Christ would never let his ordinances depend thus upon uncertainties.
