I've heard people get annoyed about this before -- though mainly non-Mormon Christians rather than non-Christians -- and I couldn't see why. Either these baptisms are valid or they aren't. If they're valid, presumably it's important and beneficial that they're done; if they aren't, presumably it makes no difference whether they're done or not. So why is there a problem?
