Don't forget that there are 2 baptisms, one in water by immersion, the other baptism is with the Spirit of God!
Acts 1:5.
5 For John did indeed baptize with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit, not many days from now.

Water baptism is never a condition for receiving eternal life (1 Cor. 1:17). If you are trusting even partially in ritual baptism to get you to heaven, then you will end up in hell. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone!
The Bible is very clear that no one can earn their way to heaven since good works do not pay for sins. See Gal. 2:16, Rom. 3:23-28, 4:4-5, Eph. 2:8-9, Tit. 3:5. The only way to heaven is by believing in Jesus for His free gift of eternal life. Jesus shed His blood on the cross as the full payment for our sins. He did all the work; all He requires of us is that we believe in Him. Once you believe in Jesus Christ to save you, you are secure forever!
Because we have all sinned against a perfectly holy and righteous God, we all deserve eternal separation from God in hell (Rom. 6:23). However, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross as our Substitute so we don't have to go to hell. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave three days later (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He gives eternal life freely to anyone who simply believes in Him for it. No one can be saved by doing good works. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9).
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).

"But as many as received Him, to them gave He (((POWER))) [Received after Holy Spirit baptism; Acts 1:5; 8] to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name;
Which were born [Again; John 3:5-7], not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD" (John 1:12-13).
Otherwise, you remain a ((( "DEAD ))) spirit" because
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come" (Romans 5:12-14).
"The (((DEAD))) knows nothing at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5).
You see today's Christians HATE GOD (Exodus 20:5) who "baptizes with the Holy Ghost" (John 1:33) and if you SAY the word "baptism" you're REPORTED because THE DEAD
(((DON'T KNOW)))
"HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (((SAVES"))) (Mark 16:16-20)!
If they weren't DEAD (Matthew 13:10-15)
THEY WOULD (((KNOW)))
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>JESUS SAVES<<<<<<<<< (Isaiah 43:11)
WHEN (((HE))) BAPTIZES US WITH THE HOLY GHOST" (JOHN 1:33).
>>>>>>>>>>THE "ONE BAPTISM" (EPHESIANS 4:5)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>THE (((ONLY))) BAPTISM THAT COUNTS!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
NOW THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY TO HELL IN "UNBELIEF" (REVELATION 21:8)!

Did you have some kind of honest, actual question to ask, or are you just preaching and chatting? Are you aware that "do you agree?" questions are NOT considered valid questions in the Yahoo Terms of Service, and that you're in violation now? Thank me in advance for not reporting you.
