Other faiths respect the original baptism as a Christian -- wherever it is done. They usually respect the sacramental validity of any Christian Church. A Methodist who becomes Catholic is not RE-baptized. And vice versa. One Christ for all. ----- Original Message ----- From: Irishcolleen45@aol.com To: irish-new-york-city@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 11:25 PM Subject: Re: [IRISH-NYC] NYC Archdiocesan searches Maureen, My maternal Irish born grandfather was "re-baptized" as a Mormon. I do not share the Mormon's belief that one's faith can be changed by being included as part of another religious group. My grandfather was born, raised, was married, died and was buried as a Catholic and nothing mortally can change that. I know that. The Church knows that but what about people 200-300 years from now. Would they understand that when they are researching? mcshelly2@msn.com writes: There has been a problem with the LDS because, as you may or may not know, the LDS family researchers re-baptize all of their ancestors as Mormons, that is their sole purpose for doing the filming and opening their Family History Centers.
