One in a hotel swimming pool and another at a resort with a swimming area. These Christians and new believers RISK THEIR LIVES to attend or be baptised. These are truly God honoring baptisms. To even suggest that these baptisms are not valid is pure insanity.

I probably wouldn't have until I heard people declaring that baptism online was not valid and anyone baptized that way would need to be re-baptized. I couldn't let that one go. Thanks for stopping by, Steve. Yeah, I wish I didn't have to address it.

I have to say that I have never ever given thought to whether or not baptism online is good and upright. I am leaning in the direction that it can be depending on the factors that you mention.

We look at multiplication and obedience. Tracking fruit within the traditional church is more difficult because there is really less community and less accountability than many would like to admit. Even in our small groups in the USA, most are reluctant to live their lives as openly as it requires.
