[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6083998, member: 24302"] I'm not God, not my place to judge. Also not my place to find arguments to not do what we're clearly told that we should do. Do you remember the story of Naaman the leper? A great man who sent for the prophet Elisha to cure his leprosy. Elisha didn't come, just sent word that Naaman should dip himself 7 times in the Jordan River. This made Naaman angry, and he refused to do it. His servant pointed out that if Elisha had told him to do some great thing then he would've done it. So Naaman decided to do as he was told and his leprosy was cured. Seems for many the act of baptism is a similar stumbling block. Find reasons not to obey God's word. It's your soul. You are free to do as you please but that doesn't mean what you're doing is what you're supposed to do. I know people like [USER=26800]@Integrity[/USER] will turn that last sentence back on me. But I'm not the one refusing to do what every example of Christian conversion did. [/QUOTE]
