Baptism is outward obedience to inward conversion

So what do you do with all the verses that describe God's working, God's power, etc. with baptism? (You make it 100% an act of mere mortals)

No I do not. Where did you get that?

I just don’t understand anyone who calls themselves a Christian and who wants to argue about baptism. It’s an act of obedience, an acceptance of God’s grace. What kind of attitude would reject that?

It’s not our responsibility to draw lines, to decide who God lets in and keeps out. Let’s leave that to the Lord and concentrate on growing ourselves in obedience and holiness.

I’m not a fan of infant baptism.
Any God that would punish a child for eternity because he/she didn’t get water sprinkled on them isn’t worth two spits.
My God doesn’t do that...
