methodist baptisms

[herev]

We had a reafrimation at our church not that long ago too. I think as long as it is clear that you are not being baptised or rebiptised that it is a good idea. It really was a moving experiance and one of the best services I have ever been to.

correct, we have a service in the Book of Worship that allows water to be used for the whole congregation or for one, where they can reaffirm the vows taken at their baptism. The pastor is required to make clear that this is not a re-baptism

Which Methodists are you talking about? Free Methodists, United Methodists, or some other Methodist denomination that I'm not aware of? I'm pretty sure that the United Methodists allow baptism in all modes (sprinkling, pouring, or immersion). I'm not sure about the infant baptism thing though.

I'm not totally sure what you are asking here, but the UMC does baptise infants.

Hmmmm, I thought the reaffirmation was always done without water. Maybe it was just done that way in the churches I have attended to avoid confusion??
