Would you let an Ex-UPC, Not-standards keeping Pastor Baptize your converts?
 

Is it OK to let an EX-UPC, Non-Traditional UPC standards keeping Pastor to Baptize converts in Jesus Name???

Would you let him Baptized your Youth????

so long as it's done in Jesus name

Why would I do that????????????????? When I ahve good young preachers that would baptize converts????

Epleyites????

I hope not.

Bishop David Ellis told a story years ago he said he was driving in Detroit and a drunk nearly stepped in front of his car. He stopped and assisted the man into his car to take him home before the man got run over. He thought this is perfect time to be a personal witness. He said sir have you ever thought about changing your life and going to church. The man became indignent and said I goes to church I am one of Bishop Ellis' saints! He preached about what one of HIS saints would be.

Cooper, when in High School we did not attend a UPC church. Rather than have the AOG man baptize my friend wrong, I did it in our bathtub. Rather than them tell him he was saved, we proceeded to pray him through to the Holy Ghost in our Kitchen. We ended at near 3 AM.

Okay Cooper, I can't help myself, is there a reason you are asking? You aren't looking for another reason to be disgruntled at the UPCI are you?

I think he is trying to ask you cons if you would allow another truth believer that did not have standards, but everything else, baptize in your church.

If you say no then you all would be much, much, much more conservative and judgmental than you already look.

Well, I have to agree with Bro. Epley here. Why would you have someone that didn't agree with your teachings baptize your converts? I'm not aware of any church that would do that.

Are you really asking if they think the baptism is valid if done by an ex-UPC, non-standards keeping pastor?

Is it OK to be baptized by a Ex-UPC non-standards keeping preacher?

It is a legit baptism??

:telephone

Only if faith was present

Nobody was ever saved by the condition of the heart of the baptizor.

It's the heart of the baptizee that makes the difference.

How can he be an ex-UPC and Non-Traditional UPC standard keeper? There are UPC preachers that don't enforce standards and then there are ex-UPC preachers. Your question has two types of preachers listed.

I would have no problem with a non-traditional UPC standard keeper baptizing new converts, but I would have to know more about the ex-UPC preacher before I would feel comfortable having him baptize someone.

Oh for Pete's sake...it's the Name that's legit...doesn't matter if he's a Hindu swami!!

If they are ex-UPCI but still in the faith then there is no problem...I agree with PO...it is the heart of the individual being baptized that is more importnat than who is doing the baptizing as long as it was in Jesus name.

:girlnails AMEN!

I know of a backslidden apostolic man that was in prison and baptized a fellow inmate in a laundry tub, after telling him of Jesus Name....and God revealed Himself to the inmate...was this legit?

There are plenty of people baptized who do not have a full clue why.

Absolutely...

I was referring to the baptizer, not the baptizee...(is that a word?) LOL

This is true...

Yep~

Is it the man that baptizes that makes it legit ? Or is it the One who you are buried with that makes it legit ?

Epleystines

Good for you.

To hear some folks it wouldn't make any difference if Jeffery Dalmer was doing the baptizing.

Jeffery Dahlmer might put you in water, but he'd have thrown in some potatoes, carrots, and other veggies with you.........:crazy :winkgrin

Now there is a thought when being invited for dinner was a misunderstanding.

BROTHER Jeffery put that fork down.

You guys are killing me here:ursofunny

Why in the world would I let someone who has nothing to do with my church baptize new converts in my church!!!

because you are a nice guy?

Now there is a thought?

If coop would just go to an exUPC, nonstandard keeping church it would be a step up

Why would anyone want to allow a backslider to baptize someone?

That's HO....not PO.....LOL!

Dahmer.....and if he were baptizing anyone, it would truly be a miracle!!!

It'd be more like a marinade... or a brine... than a baptism...

Someone else said something similar above.....LOL!

Of course, since he's long been dead, I guess we'll never know.....

Tit 3:8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
Tit 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
Tit 3:10 As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,
Tit 3:11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

1Ti 6:3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,
1Ti 6:4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,
1Ti 6:5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
1Ti 6:6 Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment,
