If restitution was necessary we would be making our own sins right and that takes away from the purpose of Jesus on this earth. This doctrine is ludicrous. Some things should be left to personal convictions. I wouldn't want to be the one denying baptism from that person. Who are we to judge the sincerity of another person's repentance.

These folks teach "merited" repentance by the individual, not solely on the NAME of Jesus to remit sins. They are clearly mixing the old and new covenants together to come to this conclusion.
I wanted to do this thread to give folks an understanding about this subject, if in fact they encounter this doctrine.
