Persons may be removed from the roll of baptized members by death, transfer, withdrawal or removal for cause with the understanding that withdrawal or removal for cause in no way abrogates the baptismal covenant from God's side. When a person returns to the church he or she affirms the baptismal vows and, without rebaptism, becomes a professing member.
