Did you know that there is no such thing as "re-baptism"? Though people are sometimes cajoled into submitting to having their bodies plunged into a tub of water, this is *not* a baptism, if that person had already been baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (in a legitimate church).
Just as it would have been impossible to re-circumcise a man in the Old Covenant, so it is completely impossible to "re-baptize" a body (in the New).
Here is a way to look at the issue of "re-baptism," (and I do not mean the illustration to be taken as an offense). . . . Just as "gay marriage" may actually be technically "legal" in some states (and in some European countries)--nonetheless, there is no such thing as a "gay marriage." It is neither sanctioned by God, nor is it recognized by Him.
Some churches may register people as having been "re-baptized" in their books and rolls. These churches have indeed done something, but God does not recognize what they have done, (because there is no such thing as "re-baptism").
The Forum for Ecclesiocentricity is designed to educate Christians and non-Christians alike to understand the Biblical teaching concerning the Church (the "Puritan" church in particular), with regard to its principal role on the earth. When this is achieved, it is hoped that the Church would then be in a better position to convey Christ's redemptive virtues to the civil government (state), and the family.
