[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4614355, member: 24302"] Do you remember Naaman the Leper? Great man who was told to wash himself in the Jordan River to rid his leprosy? He was angry about it but his servant pointed out that if he had been told to do some great thing he would have. So he went down and washed himself and the leprosy was gone. The thing is we tend to balk at being told what seems an inconvenience. Enough has been said about the importance of the act of completely immersing oneself. It's symbolic, and shows a willingness to submit to God's authority. Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned." Part of belief is obeying. Part of being a Christian is harmonizing the Bible. If every act of conversion involves baptism why fight it? [/QUOTE]
