This looks to be a bit of a waffle. Do all Protestant denominations believe in regenerative water baptism? What denomination are you?

For the record, the Anglican statement said that water baptism was an outward sign of an inward process.

That is fairly standard Protestant thought.

The creed does not specify water baptism as regenerative. There are other baptisms.

BTW ... I'm fairly Baptist.

No it said it was a sacrament with outward and visible dsigns and inward graces, including "birth into God's family the Church, forgiveness of sins, and new life in the Holy Spirit. "

These are not coincidental. This is what happens unseen during the water baptism that we do see. It's not talking about a symbol, but a sacrament.

You failed to answer my question. Do all Protestant denominations believe in regenerative water baptism? That is what the Anglicans believe no matter how you want to quibble over their statement.
