This is an incredible writing that flies under the radar.
A Treatise on Re-Baptism by an Anonymous Writer.

This is likely Ante-Nicene, 3rd century, when these topics were a hot-button involving correspondence between Cyprian and the Bishop of Rome Stephen, and some of the writing comes from the Council of Carthage of 251 AD. Here is some background.

The emphasis here is on the (non) authority of the Bishop of Rome, however there is good stuff.
And I have placed extracts here of the Anonymous Treatise on Rebaptism, although I do recommend a full read:

And I also plan to discuss some writings and threads here that do touch on this Treatise.
Notice that the Treatise affirms
Matthew 28:19 as scripture. That whole thing trying to deny the verse as scripture is on many threads here and is a non-issue. And not the purpose of studying the Treatise.
