I visited one of links on your post, and their write up concerning their opposition to tithing was very poorly done and not very scholarly. Let's have a discussion based on the scripture and your opinion instead of repeating someone else's opinion.
Romans 14:5b Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Here's an interesting find: did you know that none of the Apostles were baptized although every one of them taught baptism? I was amazed myself. I dug around and could not find any scripture recording their baptism. Therefore, we must come to the conclusion that none of the Apostles were baptized.

Seems like quite a logical fallacy since many of the disciples were no doubt baptized under the ministry of John the Baptist. I don't think anyone would seriously posit (or even could) that they were not baptized.
Now then, baptized AGAIN after the day of Pentecost, that is a tough sell.
