I acknowledge the biblical teaching of "one baptism" which is to be administered by any of three methods; aspersion, effusion or immersion in the name of the Triune God, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and except in the most extreme and rare situations, by one who has been called and ordained to the office of Elder.

I believe there is no necessity for rebaptism, although I certainly can understand why some might desire to have this done given the circumstances that surrounded their original baptism. I also believe it is not a sin to be rebaptized.

But pray tell, what does THIS have to do with your original contention that a believer may fall from grace and perish due to God's withdrawing of His hand as He so wills? It has been clearly shown that the "gifts and calling of God are immutable" and thus all who are united to Christ by a living faith will be infallibly saved and raised up on the last day. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" />
