Re: Reasons For/Against Rebaptism
So it would be fair to say that the conservative position is not accepting outside baptisms, with more liberal groups like Grace Brethren having accepted outside triune baptism for a long time, New Conference only doing so recently, and Old Conference continuing the “conservative” position.Heirbyadoption wrote:We have accepted outside immersions since our reorganization in 2009. It was formalized at our conference in 2013. There are some congregations who would hesitate to accept someone on previous single immersion, but all will accept previous trine immersion if someone is willing to make a verbal confession of their faith.
What position would groups like Dunkards, Old Order River Brethren, Petitioners, Old Brethren, and so forth hold?
