You’re welcome 🙂

Lutheran orthodoxy rejects it, as, I believe, Anglican orthodoxy also does.
There isn’t really such a thing as “Anglican orthodoxy,” at least not on these matters. Most Anglicans don’t believe in it, but historically a very strong wing of Anglicanism has been Calvinist and thus would believe in it in the same sense that other Calvinists would. This of course requires them to water down the doctrine of baptism (bad pun not originally intended but I like bad puns so I’m letting it stand!), but this is a longstanding approach of low-church Anglicans (i.e., baptism only regenerates in a conditional sense).

I stand corrected 🙂
And I like bad puns too 😃
 
Well for one the Baptist do
Most (not all) Baptists in the U.S. In the rest of the world there are many Baptists who don’t believe in it. Historically the Baptists of Eastern Europe, for instance, do not (though with growing American influence after the fall of Communism this was changing when I last visited Eastern Europe in the 90s, and may have changed far more by now).

There’s no “central authority” with Baptist churches, so you can’t say that all Baptists do.

The church where I was baptized, although they did use the expression “Once saved, always saved”, didn’t mean it in the sense of “Once you accept Jesus, you can do anything you want.” They were clear that justification would lead to sanctification and therefore a lack of sanctification meant that the justification did not happen.
