Many protestant churches encourage, or agree to, second and third baptisms for newcomers, in there particular church.

You wouldn’t board the Ark, the OT prefigurement of the Church? (At the warning of the “man”, Noah.)

You wouldn’t “make straight the way of the Lord” and be baptized? (At the behest of a, “man”, named John the Baptist.)

Where do you not need “man” to be baptized, thereby saved? Please, find for me where you baptize yourself, hear your own confession, marry yourself, prepare the bread and wine and receive communion yourself, and of yourself, somewhere in the Bible.

Never heard of that.

If a Protestant who’s been baptized joins the Catholic church, will he be baptized again in the Catholic church?

While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”

“John’s baptism,” they replied.

Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”

On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. (Acts 19:1-5)

Why do you think these people were baptized twice? I was baptized as a baby without ANY faith at all required of me. Why is it strange to be baptized again when I really did receive Jesus Christ as my Savior?

I said nothing about a man baptizing me lady. I said that I only need Jesus to SAVE me. You can go to the man in the booth and hope he can save you, which he cannot because Christ made it plain that only He has the authority to do that. I will not argue the point with you. You have your beliefs and I follow the Bible. Big difference.
