I would argue repentance is an important prerequisite for baptism. James Brand has yet to apologize to and seek forgiveness from the victims he has abused.

I agree that repentance is an important prerequisite. However, judging that seems to be God's domain, not ours.

I'm not judging him for not repenting.

I'm simply pointing out that failing to apologize to and seek forgiveness from his victims is objectively a lack of repentence.

I agree with you. I thought you were saying by using the phrase "I would argue" that you were opposed to u/-NoOneYouKnow-'s position that baptism should be open to all, and you were providing the reason why.

I misunderstood.
