McCain has stated in SC that he’s a Baptist now. LOL
This reminds me of a scene from “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” LOL
If McCain really said he didn’t find it “necessary” to be baptized, I question whether he’s really a Christian at all. Baptism is fundamental for all Christians, and is not based on what someone decides he “needs.”
“Well, you know, my good friend John McCain is a maverick who has championed the cause of religious freedom for everyone in this country his entire life. John has courageously done this by becoming a Catholic in Boston, an Episcopalian in Washington DC and a Baptist in South Carolina. You know, you’ve heard of “a man for all seasons” well, you know, my good friend John here is a “man of all religions”. John McCain is fearless in his ability to change, I want change, you want change, we all want change, I myself have been tirelessly working for change for the past 40 years”

Likely he had been Baptized as an infant, as Episcopalians, Catholics, and Orthodox, among others do. Likely he didn't consider his original Baptism to be invalid, so did not wish to be re-Baptized.
