Hisalone,

Treading lightly so as not to steer this too far away from Hitch's question, but I think it is not off-topic because the principles at stake are what this Pakistani believer is facing, I wanted to add something to what Pilgrim said. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) and Acts 2:42 are two of several passages that strongly link baptism and teaching, which means that the one baptizing should be recognized by the church--that is, ordained--as a man called, trained and able to teach.

In Christ,
Paul S
