I have been a Baptist for years now and I have learned that baptism does not make you a Baptist. Agreement with the articles of faith of your Baptist church make you a Baptist, since sometimes it takes more time for people to fully understand this doctrine and take the step of faith and be immersed. Usually it rests on the pastor´s lead to instruct how important it is and the proper time to do so.

The phrase “unbaptized Catholic” is an oxymoron. There are no unbaptized Catholics, just uncomfirmed ones. As for McCain, many Christian religions believe that one baptism in almost any Christian denomination is all you need. You don’t need to be re-baptized in another Christian faith in order to become a member of that faith tradition; you just need to be confirmed, which means you’re educated in the basic tenets of that faith. Baptism simply means that you became part of Christ’s church in the world, which encompasses all Christians, whatever the denomination.
As much as I dislike McCain, he’s not incorrect in saying he’s a Baptist if he is a member of that particular church in Phoenix.

The title says it all an “Unbaptised Baptist”. Good grief! Pandering for sure.
