Does the method of immersion make a difference? Infant versus adult? Full immersion versus sprinkling? Trinitarian versus some other formula?
Paul Younan Wrote:P.S. - The CoE has (always had) a formal policy against proseletizing. People who are already Meshikhaye may participate in the worship services at any time, and are considered part of the church just as anyone else would be.
Do you mean a formal policy only against proseletizing other groups of Christians? I'm somewhat skeptical that the CoE could have become as widespread as it did, if it didn't actively proseletize non-Christians at one point.
