No...There is no final judgment for Christians...We have been judged already as far as salvation goes...

Here's a little fact for you:

Both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were baptized Christians.

And here's a fact for you...You don't become a Christian by getting wet...You become a Christian by trusting in Jesus Christ to be your Savior...

The people that convinced you that the church epistles of Paul aren't for the Catholic religion are the same people who got you to believe that getting wet equals becoming a member of the Body of Christ...Your current pope even says you don't have to believe in Jesus...But you must get wet...By a Catholic priest...

Which only proves that water baptism means nothing.

Both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were baptized Christians.

Here's a little fact for you: they weren't, but were While Hitler was baptized (sprinkled) into the Roman Catholic Church, and Stalin into the Russian Orthodox Church (both reportedly later baptized by Mormons) and was in train to be a priest, yet unlike circumcision, the stated requirements for baptism in Scripture are repentance and wholehearted faith, (Acts 2:38; 8:36,37) thus souls believed and were baptized. (Acts 8:12)

While the Holy Spirit is not negligent in providing important details, and contrary to the paramount importance Catholicism places upon baptizing infants, even allowing anyone to do so (if in conformance in form and matter and basic intent), the Holy Spirit nowhere records any baptism of infants, despite recording many by infants.

Thus as with the case of another most basic practice utterly absent from the Scriptures, Catholicms must resort to extrapolation, reading paedobaptim into sparse simple statements of whole household baptisms. As well as forcing a level of correspondence to OT circumcision that the NT does not provide.

Which is more proof that the Catholic church did not write or change the Bible (contrary to Islamic charges), for it would not be hard to write in some of the missing Catholic distinctives .
