Re: Re-Baptism

I did use the word "much", not "all".

I'm not "throwing out" Luther, but as much as he was the lynchpin of the Reformation, he was not the entirety of it. There was a lot of re-baptism that went on during the early Reformation as a result of the disagreement over paedeobaptism in favour of credobaptism. If there hadn't been, there never would have been the record of the Reformers disagreements over the practice.

While I am inclinded to agree with your conclusion about the depth of George Washington's faith, I still disagree with a statement that implies that all Christian find re-baptism a "horror". After all, there is, in fact, an example of re-baptism in the New Testament (Acts 19).
