Baptist baptism is not Biblical baptism. The baptism is done for the wrong purpose. The person who does the baptizing does not matter. However, the reasons for being baptized are important, since they are specified in Scripture.

***Baptist baptism is not Biblical baptism. The baptism is done for the wrong purpose.****

And how do you know the mindset of the person getting wet? Can it change from moment to moment? Do you have some type of litmus test to see if they are saved or not?


***The person who does the baptizing does not matter.***

It does to the person doing the baptizing. If a person doing the baptizing is a Mormon he will list the person baptized as a Mormon. Same for Baptist and Pentecostals. Would you want your name on a "cult" church's membership role if you were baptized by such a person?
Was ANYONE in the New Testament ever baptized by and unbeliever?
