The biography of Frederick G. Williams is evidence of how chaotic life could be on the early church. He was rebaptized once when we have no record of an excommunication. Later he was excommunicated in abstentia during the time that Joseph was in Liberty jail but then was restored to full fellowship one Joseph was freed. I don’t know if the excommunication was a mistake, a misunderstanding, or just forgiven. Whatever the case, he died in full fellowship.
