I guess what you are saying is that once you get baptized, you automatically turn into wheat..

No, that's the exact OPPOSITE of what I'm saying. The baptized are the SEEDS, not the wheat: i.e. everyone who is in the Kingdom of Heaven (which is the Church on earth--NOT heaven.) If someone isn't baptized they wouldn't be in the garden at all, capisce?

Now, among the seeds in the garden, some are wheat, and some are tares, and the latter are taken away to be burnt--which includes many, many people *who were baptized*.

There are millions and millions of baptized Catholics who are now and will be in hell. Baptism gets you in the door, but it doesn't guarantee you will make it to the end.

That's my point...I'm convinced the bible is clear that you can not be in the Body of Christ unless you belong to Jesus, right now...And if you end up in hell, you never were a member of the body of Jesus Christ...
