I think by being rebaptized you would be putting down a stumbling block by appearing to agree that your baptism was invalid; but if your baptism was according to biblical standards, why should you inhibit another from coming to the biblical understanding?

ISTM participation as a member of a local church is more important than making a stand on this issue when I am free in my own conscience to decide which baptism to consider as authentic. It can also be seen as a weaker brother/stronger brother issue. One is seeking not to offend weaker brethren in the church and voluntary circumscribing one's liberty for the peace and unity of the church.

Is baptism itself a matter of Christian liberty?
