Repeated Chrismation?

[JohnVIII]

That same logic could be used in re-baptizing too, couldn’t it, since both Baptism and Chrismation impart the Spirit?

Actually some smaller jurisdictions have done this. Some of the Greek Old-calender Churches have. St Basil said that although most do not re-baptism schismatics, he does, in order to give them the baptism of the Church. The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia used to do it in the days when Metropolitan Philaret was the First Hierarch. There is a canon that authorizes re-baptism in the case when no document can be found to prove the baptism happened.

The Eastern Orthodox don’t have anything like a “conditional baptism”. So many assume that another baptism can only happen when the first was not valid. But in the economia of the Church, which holds the power to bind and to loose, a second baptism can be done to replace -or- complete the first. Rather than making a “conditional baptism”, the first baptism is simply considered “loosed”. Surely not all Orthodox will be convinced that this is the correct Orthodox view, but I feel certain that it is and perhaps in another tread I could lay out a full argument for its Orthodoxy.
