[Count of Monte Logan]

And you were baptized by whom? And by what authority?

Baptism is required to enter the kingdom of God.

Baptism of the Spirit. Being born again is required. Being a new creature in Christ.

It isn’t by a ceremony that you become His, it is by His Spirit.

Hope that clears it up for you, but I’m sure it doesn’t.

No, it isn’t. Baptism is a command from God after you have become a believer, but it’s in the believing that you are saved, not in the baptism. I believe people should be baptized, but that alone will certainly not save them or get them into the kingdom of God.

[Boiler Plate]

From Luke Chapter 23 which speaks of the Crucifixtion and of the two criminals hung alongside Jesus.

39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

40But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[f]”

43Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

So did the criminal that Jesus promised paradise to, get baptized? Seems as though he just simply acknowledge his sins and asked Jesus for mercy, while also recognizing Jesus as Lord (Your Kingdom).

Don't you remember Nehor in Alma 1 that teaches the people they got it all wrong and those covenants that were given to them are not necessary!

Well this is a modern day version of Nehor!

Are you a Campbellite?

Baptism is required to enter the kingdom of God.

Baloney. If a man accepts Christ and lives and christian life but never gets baptized you are saying he is going to hell. Please.

I am not real religious but my family is and I grew up in a Baptist church all my life. I have never heard that.

Baptism shows that you have accepted and want to follow Christ.

I do not believe John 3 16 says "that whosoever gets baptized shall have everlasting life"

[Walker Texas Ranger]

Baptism is required to enter the kingdom of God.

If that were true, the Apostle Paul (who penned over two thirds of the new testament) would not have said this:

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

(1Co 1:17)
