Didn't the SBC vote a few years back to require "re-baptism" of members 
transferring from Churches that do not follow the doctrine of eternal 
security?  I recall having several discusses with some SB Brothers 
regarding this.  If I recall correctly, there was even the dismissal and 
subsequent reinstatement of a SBC counsel member in protest of this 
vote. I am told the local SB Churches in my area do not practice this 
"rule".

Seems pretty Salvation oriented to me.... Perhaps I misunderstood your 
statement.


Respectfully,
