We would respect the immersion by the PC, as would see them as being a legit NT church , but if they had infant baptism, would not see that as a legit one
The thorny issue in that case would be reformed churches, as they do uphold trinity, Gospel, just differ on view of water baptism mode and when to use it
Those who are into modern day prophets and Apostles and "revelations" coming to them from God would take to heart"touch not the Lords anointed" as mandate to allow their leaders to do some gross sinning
Which highlights difference between reformed Baptist and other reformed, as we see the New Covenant only instituted and valid with those who are actually in the NC, based upon them having received Jesus as savior and lord thru faith in him , and thus qualified for water Baptism
one of my pastors stated that whenever a pastor or teacher really makes an issue out of certain sinning in bible, that just might be the one area they are having hardest time dealing with themselves
You see this a lot in circles such as word of faith, as they have elevated their leadership to being modern day apostles and prophets, and pretty much what they do is excused under "touch not the Lords annoited"
Guess Jesus and John would have gotten banned, and those schools also had to commit to not seeing any movies in theater, yet could set home and view worse stuff on cable tv e=right in the dorms
My Grandma raised Wesyln Holiness, and they did a hem check going in, as ladies only were allowed to show off ankles, and my Mother while on their farm played old main card game when parents drove into town, but hd to make sure when they saw the car coming back to get those cards locked back up...
I have never been part of an IBF church, but would say that when known names fall into sinning, it dies give cause of Christ black eye among the unsaved
