    Baptism is not an option but a direct command from God.

    Faith and Repentance must precede Baptism. Repentance implies sorrow for sin as committed against God, along with a purpose to forsake it. [Acts 2:38] states that Baptism is a required condition for forgiveness, and according to Jesus, 'baptism' is a requirement for salvation [Mark 16:16].

    For this reason, the apostle Peter was able to say: “And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also---not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God [1 Peter 3:21].

    Through 'Baptism' we obey the Gospel: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. [Romans 6:4] We therefore were buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

  • Christian baptism is not a gift, it must be given to people who, after repenting sins, have had direct experiences with God.

    The fault is always, and in any case, for all those who sin against God!

    How can it be wrong to get baptized when Jesus COMMANDED it? (Matthew 28: 19 & 20)

    If we don't get baptized and receive God's pardon for our sins which He has already put upon Jesus Christ, then Jesus shed His precious blood and was crucified for us for nothing - what a waste. Jesus died physically for us, so that we would not have to pay the punishment for our own sins.

    Those who reject Jesus' wonderful gift of salvation, won't be able to receive salvation whilst they live physically now in this world, and then in eternity, they will have to suffer the punishment FOR THEIR OWN SINS, because they would NOT accept Christ's sinless, blameless sacrifice.

    So, if you truly believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins,repent and be baptized for the remission of your sins as Peter commanded, and as Jesus commanded in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). He who believes and is baptized SHALL BE SAVED Mark 16:16

    Isaiah 53 demonstrates the remedy for Isaiah 59:1-2, which is quite a contrast to what you have suggested.

    No...it's not. Baptism in and of itself doesn't do that, though. You ask for forgiveness...you're not blaming anyone. It's confessing that you sinned yourself and that you need and have faith in Jesus to rid yourself of the sin and the worldly nature that caused you to want to sin. THEN you get baptized as a public profession of that faith.

  • Baptism is a public display of one showing their dedication to doing God's will.

    Water baptism doesn't pay for sins. Nothing pays for sins, except the death and blood of Jesus, and that is already done. Water baptism can't be added to what gets a person into heaven (1 Corinthians 1:17). No works can be added to what gets a person into heaven (Romans 4:5).

    .

    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
