I understand and agree that the effectiveness of baptism should never be shouldered by the individual doing the baptizing.
But my question is more to the Reformed view of a man who although baptized as an infant, apostasized from the faith, and then comes back. Does the Reformed church view this man as a man who is being engrafted into the tree, or a man who always was a part of the tree but had simply 'fallen away'? If Madonna confessed faith in Christ, would a Reformed church require her to be rebaptized? And I know that she was baptized RC, but take that out of the equation. Let us pretend she had been baptized as an infant in a Reformed church. What now? Is repentance enough? Or would Reformed churches differ on this issue?
