Some Protestants (anabaptists, mostly) would claim that they never returned because you didn't A) wait until they were fully able to make a saving confession of faith, and/or B) baptism was administered by sprinkling or pouring, instead of by full immersion, nullifying it's validity.
They would say that because God is still busy sanctifying their sense of humor.
Fully immersing a crow who just made a profession of faith is indeed an image the humor of which will require quite some time to sanctify.
