Yeah, that's kind of more along the lines of what I believe regarding this topic. I can't imagine the church would be interested in making the return of someone to its fold more difficult and painful than necessary, just to satisfy some sense of justice for the transgression or "waywardness". Somewhere between this and a hail Mary would be my expectation. Thanks.

Just curious what the concensus here is, or what the official church stance is on "transgression", with regard to frequenting other churches. I have been frequenting another church for almost a year now, along with my family. Does that mean that if we decide to return to the LDS church, we cannot do so without rebaptism? Although we have not formally requested to have our names removed, we have requested that we not be contacted (which has not been altogether honored). I do not have animosity or disdain for the LDS church, but there are certain aspects of the doctrine that I disagree with. That being said, I would be curious to know if, in the eyes of the church, I have already transgressed and would require baptism to return.
