Interesting that these people think they have any control over this. Baptism is a done thing, you can’t undo it. You can leave the Church physically, you can renounce your faith, you can denigrate Christianity. You can do all those things but if you were baptized, you are just another member of the Body of Christ being unfaithful from within.
“Baptism is a done thing, you can’t undo it. “ What’s a person’s status when excommunicated?
The good news is you don’t have to de-baptize in order to get into hell.
In fact, this is one of the few things you can just “wish” you could do, or even “wish upon a star” you could do - and it is granted!!!
Boy, that Catholic Church man, just wont unclench it’s nails once it gets you eh? It still counts you until you die.....when it’s big eye in the sky finally decides, even if you’re Lutheran, to cross you off the rolls and they shrink by one. Those legions of beurocrats that are claiming souls that no longer follow, just to keep the numbers inflated and the money coming in and the votes for representatives in the Changes Department. You may think you’re free, but they have your name somewhere on a paper, like your soul, and they will NEVER free it!
Now they’ll need counseling because they no longer belong to anything, have no meaning in their lives, and the Church doesn’t seem to be missing them.
The Left Myself Behind series.
So why don’t we just get some committed Catholic “priests” to borrow some strategically placed fire hoses and “baptise” everyone in the world?
Then everyone will be a member of the body of Christ, according to your formula, since the will and/or faith of the baptizee is not an issue (of no consequence).
This may be true for an individual who willfully wanted it and dedicated his/her soul to Baptism, but there are those who were led to the alter and baptised who did not believe in it's sanctity. Like parents who have their child baptized and the child did not willfully ask it to be done, based on his/her commitment to Christ.
Which means they were never saved in the first place. This young man need not denounce his baptism since it never occurred in the first place in the eyes of God. This young soul will die with the beast in the field, by his own free will.
You are so right. There name is written in the Book of Life and they will have to answer for their sins at the moment they die.
