I believe that a person can declare he has been baptized as an adult by immersion and that is sufficent.

I believe that the Lord's Supper should be open to all believers.

No Baptist church should state that it acceptable to be baptized in any other manner other then immersion and as an adult, making a profession of faith in Christ.

Open communion? Hmmm... Open to the unbaptized? All those at the Last Supper, including Jesus, were baptized believers.

They really are departing from Baptist tradition otherwise. I do think that teenagers and older children can be saved as well. Babies and tykes? Not really. I think that a saving faith in Christ is not for kids who still believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.
