You consider the LDS to be a protestant denomination? SERIOUSLY? And many you have listed there, other than the Baptists and Pentecostals are tiny groups. And I mean tiny. Gnostics? Seriously? Why didn't you list Scientology, Zoroastrians, Rastafari and Bahá’í Faith while you were at it?

The reasoning is that they believe baptism should be voluntary and desired by the follower of Christ. Hitler was baptized Roman Catholic as an infant; had he chosen following Christ and baptism as an adult, history would be markedly different.

And, NO, that's not a knock upon Catholic tradition, just an explanation of the attitude of some other Christian faiths.

So what?

Baptism doesn't save anyone any way so what's the big deal?
