A few thoughts. As Jesus said, if someone saves their life in this world, they will lose it.
Looking on from a distance is outside of the body of Christ.
Those being baptized totally trust the Lord because these are forsaking their way and accepting joyfully the new spirit.
They will deliberately go against self which means 'not doing it themselves' but being humble.
We know everything is stacked against us, but we also know
the Lord delights in showing, teaching, leading us to get rid of sins that we know we have.
Did you read in Acts about Herod first killing James, the brother of John, then deciding to follow up with Peter.
Read on to see whether those praying believed Peter was there?
When you leave the mundane, worldly way, you enter the (real excitement).
But the old ways, and spirit resurrect and so we keep putting it down.
Sometimes we heal others or cast out demons.
We may be killed.

According to Jesus Christ, water baptism, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, is the typical and normal means of becoming a member of the Church and an adopted child of God. Anything less may not get the job done. Why would anyone choose to take unnecessary chances with their eternal salvation?

A person is not born again through water baptism, but solely by the grace of God alone, in Jesus Christ alone, by faith alone.

Nobody is reborn through baptism. Water baptism cannot be added to what saves (1 Corinthians 1:17).
Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not....

The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

Not much, they both have great difficulties to separate clearly between fantasy and reality. The reborn one has performed the formal ritual.
