It seems that there is something wrong with calling someone to repent for being a Baptist. I think they're wrong about baptism, but until they see this, accusing them of sin doesn't make sense to me. I think we should practice the principles of Romans 14 here. If Bill gave in on this point without being convinced, he would sin against his own conscience. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. It sounds very pious and steadfast to call him to repent, but he would have to sin in order to do what we ask at this point.
