Chad: Of course, I would also argue that your
attendance at the celebration is not tacit approval of
the baptism.  I realize that view is probably not
shared by all.

Carlo:This would be key for me.

Chad: The biggest issue for me is this (and why I
would even attend the "celebration" of an infant
baptism)... I have such a high view of "community" and
church, mere church attendance is not participation in
ekklesia, IMHO.  If I have those kinds of doctrinal
hangups with those with whom I have covenanted
together in community and worship to the point where I
won't fellowship with them, I need to find another
community.  Withholding fellowship over an "error" is
*tantamount* to the very same practice involved in
excommunication... the end result is the same:
withholding of fellowship.  If I can't *do* corporate
community, I can't *do* church... the two are
inherently inseparable.

Carlo: Interesting points.  Thank you.
