The short answer is yes. However, the logic behind that decision is that at MCBC baptism does not confer membership to a person. Baptism is just one of the requirements for membership. We follow the New Testament example of Acts 2:41 (among others): “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:” and baptize any who confess that they have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and desire to follow Him in believer’s baptism.
