You mistake me for somebody who cares about certain FReepers' obsession with Mormonism.

Yet here you are, are there any Christian churches, Catholic, Greek Orthodox, or Protestant, that recognize Mormon baptism as a Christian baptism? I'm not aware of any.

The question is not whether a particular church or set of churches recognizes a baptism.

The important question is whether or not God recognizes a baptism.

And that, of course, leads to the fundamental question:

Does the efficacy of baptism depend on which church performs it?

Or does the efficacy of baptism depend something between God and the individual being baptized?
