Yes, I vaguely remember that I still have my membership card stored somewhere in my files, because anyway it is still a memento of a different time in my life when I was maybe about 16 years old and I took the class for that down there, and was later water baptized, although I suppose that I could get myself re-baptized upon returning to the United States, but would that be necessarily the right way to handle that, even if it was sort of my parents idea for me to go ahead and do that, does it logically follow that I would need to pretend that I need to again be water baptized every time I move to another country. Wouldn't that negate the point of Christian faith in the first place, hoping that the water baptism would last long enough for eternity or does it have an expiration date? Does not the Christian faith transcend national borders anyway? So that is a complication to be sure, but anyway, long before that, did I not sing a solo in church, "Into My Heart Lord Jesus," so, yes, it is complicated.
