"It is true that Christ's baptism is holy; and although it may exist among heretics or schismatics, yet it does not belong to the heresy or schism; and therefore even those who come from thence to the Catholic Church herself ought not to be baptized afresh"

@Daniil The Catholic Church also authorizes the laymen to baptize.

@Mozalbete ⳩ For the rebaptism of heretics, this is a dogma which last from the IInd Ecumenical Council. Thanks.

Not all orthodox churches rebaptise though

From my understanding

It's only the ROCOR while the OCA doesn't

Idk

Yup. The majority of Orthodox in countries which aren't do chrismation to Trinitarians considering the baptism as valid. But that was also said at the IInd Ecumenical Council. (Canon 7)

``` But Eunomians, who are baptized with only one immersion, and Montanists, who are here called Phrygians, and Sabellians, who teach the identity of Father and Son, and do sundry other mischievous things, and [the partisans of] all other heresies -- for there are many such here, particularly among those who come from the country of the Galatians: -- all these, when they desire to turn to orthodoxy, we receive as heathen. On the first day we make them Christians; on the second, catechumens; on the third, we exorcise them by breathing thrice in their face and ears; and thus we instruct them and oblige them to spend some time in the Church, and to hear the Scriptures; and then we baptize them. ```

from the last half of the first paragraph in canon 7

There's not even *one* immersion in RC Baptism

Real shit

I prefer the dunk honestly

_Those who from heresy turn to orthodoxy, and to the portion of those who are being saved, we receive according to the following method and custom: Arians, and Macedonians, and Sabbatians, and Novatians, who call themselves Cathari or Aristori, and Quarto-decimans or Tetradites, and Apollinarians, we receive, upon their giving a written renunciation [of their errors] and anathematize every heresy which is not in accordance with the Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of God. Thereupon, they are first sealed or anointed with the holy oil upon the forehead, eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears; and when we seal them, we say, "The Seal of the gift of the Holy Ghost."_

There is chrismation 😉

If you're welcomed to the greatest Jam, you've gotta take the greatest Slam

I was dunked by baptists

how many dunks

Lol

Don't remember

In a swimming pool

Of all places

I was present at a friend's baptism at a mega(((church))) twelve years ago. I attended as an atheist and just observed what was going on

I believe it was one dunk

also prottie worship music is probably the most dull thing I have ever heard

Catholic's mass is also with instruments. While the Orthodox Liturgy is _a capella_.

Nothing wrong with organs, amirite?

Because in the Orthodox perspective (and the Fathers), the Liturgy is the reunion of the Church and the Cherubins, who sing the glory of God forever. So the choir intend to copy angels hymns to God.

The only organ that should be present at liturgy is the nous

Orthodox choir is bae

Prottie guitar sermons are cancer

And so, as the cherubins aren't using organs, the choir isn't.

>modern pop tier songs

Plus, half of all prot praise teams I've encountered were mediocre musicians

Or just plain ass

They seemed like the kind of teens who go to church on sunday after debauchery on saturday

Sprinkling is okay when dunking isn't possible, it's in the didache, but it's gotta be triple

@Constantin le Lamantin I like your choice of name btw
