The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Muslim becomes Christian and so does his wives...

Joe,

I already admitted that my original statement about "no regenerate Muslim" was cumbersome at best.


Do we examine and counsel adults for membership and baptism in our churches because we are suspicious of their regeneration or because there are certain minimal doctrinal standards to uphold for our congregations?


Yes, I believe we are using the term differently.

I don't know about you, but an ex-Muslim who brought his "wives" with him would make me wonder what other sins and/or heresies he might also retain from his Muslim culture and religion. For instance, and most importantly, does he believe in the Muslim Jesus or the Jesus of Scripture?

The original question was; "Would you baptize him?" My answer to that question remains no, and not until he, at least, first dealt with his sinful relationships with his "wives" and his wive's sinful relationship with him. I see little difference between baptizing this man (if he retains his wives) or baptizing a practicing homosexual.
