In my pastoral ministry, I always accepted the baptism of anyone baptized by a recognized Christian group. That varied from liberal Protestant, to Calvary Chapel, to Pentecostal, to fundamentalist, and even a few Presbyterians. However, after learning that credo baptism is a "heresy" (on another thread), and having always viewed "heresy" as making one liable to hellfire, perhaps the more fundamental question is was I a
Christian minister?
