The Catholic Church recognizes most Christian baptisms. However, some Protestant denominations don't baptise infants, so perhaps Bork was never baptised for that reason. Also, some of the more loosey-goosey COngregationalist Churches play down the sacramental element of baptism so much that being baptised is very casual. Perhaps there was a ceremony that Bork himslef is unsure "counted", so the Church conditionally rebaptised him, which they do sometimes when the person may have been baptised before.

How about churches that baptize in the name of Jesus Christ, rather than Father, Son, Holy Ghost? I don't mean Oneness Pentecostals...
