15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned
This shows why believers tell others about the word. It is a command from God that we do so. It is part of obeying Him.
So if you are not Baptized, you are not saved? How about babies that die before they are Baptized? Didn't they go to Purgatory for about 2000 years before the Catholic Church changed it's mind?
Now you are going in a direction that will really bring out the worst in Christians.
There is no way you can convince me that baptism is the only way you can make it to Heaven. I serve a loving god, one who will answer those who call on His Name. The soldier in the trench who make a plea to God is not damned to hell because he cannot stop the battle long enough to be baptised.
I will probably get smoked for this statement but I have been smoked before and lived so let it be.
