At the time of baptism, for instance, an individual may secretly have been living in a situation or engaging in a practice that could have resulted in his being disfellowshipped if he had already been validly baptized.
Misalnya, hingga saat dibaptis, seseorang mungkin secara diam - diam hidup dalam suatu situasi atau melakukan suatu kebiasaan yang dapat menyebabkan dia dipecat seandainya ia sudah dibaptis secara sah.
