Re: Perplexed!
The sign of the cross affirms faith, belief in the holy trinity.

Well, to a lot of the christian world if you don't believe in the trinity you don't believe in the TRUE God of the bible.

Re: Perplexed!
This is completely changing what Christ Church has been - I would seriously either leave or start a letter writing/PR campaign (after, of course, privately discussing it with the appropriate chain of command and exhausting those avenues).

Re: Perplexed!
To not require rebaptism is to not believe baptism should only be in Jesus name.

Catholics teach that those baptized "In the name of Jesus" are essentially baptized in the "Titles" because, the Father is in the Son who sent the Holy Ghost in His Name - Jesus.
They even teach that the Apostles DID baptize "In the name of Jesus" through out the book of Acts.
Those are things that even our Protestant brothers will not even teach or accept.

I have a dvd of a excatholic priest who was critical of those who baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

Being born and raised in the Apostolic faith, I am spitting nails! Not only are those youth leaders still in place, I'm not sure they were ever reprimanded!
For the first time in years, I'm contemplating a move. Not sure. Someone has some 'splaining to do!  |
Why are you perplexed?
Do they need to get baptized again the right way now?
Maybe the Sr. Pastor knowingly allowed this to happen because their baptisms using the "Titles" are not invalid.
What apsect of baptism is connected to our salvation?
