Many of you disagree with water baptism, but since I've done the same thing as you, plus being dunked in water for the forgiveness of my sins in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and I feel that's necessary, many of you really need to let me know that I'm wrong. The illustration I thought of is the reference 1 Cor 11 about women covering their head. Now you and I may think it unnecessary since we might think of it as a cultural situation. But it doesn't say "cover your head for the forgiveness of your sins". Because of that, I'm not going to tell someone they're wrong for doing it. If they told me it's for the forgiveness of sins, I would point out the Bible never saying that. But as soon as I point out people being baptized in water for the forgiveness of their sins, people get REAL up in a tizzy. I'm just telling you that I firmly believe that's what the Bible says to do to be washed clean of your nasty sins. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. I just point out the scripture and you keep twisting them into your own belief. Like I said, if I'm wrong, I'm still saved by your own definition of salvation since I've done everything you've done. But if I'm right, I'm just letting you know I'm praying you make the same decision I did. And by the way, if the Bible said I needed to cover my head for the forgiveness of sins, I would absolutely do it, regardless of whether or not it may have been cultural. I really want to be with God! Thanks for getting me into the scripture more and more! Compare Romans 6:3 and then Romans 8:1. This is why I do it! I love His promises.
