| | | De-Baptism
A lady who attends our church sent me this link about a man, baptized in the church of England (and now an atheist) who wishes to be "de-baptized." I blog about this here.
This is not a thread intended to discuss the validity of infant baptism (which is why I am posting it here) and any discussions of that sort will be  Rather, my question has to do with the comments in the article about baptism into the Church of England not being "membership." Can anyone help clarify the Anglican position here regarding membership in the (visible) church? Or do CoEs not making the visible/invisible distinction?

So he admits something substantial happened and therefore must be undone. Some athiest he is.

If atheists are really atheists, why do they make such a fuss about a God who doesn't exist?
I don't go around trying to prove that pink elephants don't exist, simply because there is no need for it, as I don't believe they exist! lol
What a total waste of their time  Atheism is just another name for the pride of man.
