I think this would be a good reason not to do it. I think it speaks to their insecurity and their inability to simply place all trust in the blood of Jesus.

Some have been baptised multiple times and still have the same struggles - where does it stop? They need to be taught who it is they identified with in baptism and why they can fully trust his accomplishment on the cross.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
