As for why was Jesus baptized;
Mt 3
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer(Let) it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then John consented.
Jesus's answer to this question is "to fulfill all righteousnesss ."

And let me guess. You believe that church is the Iglesia Ni Cristo.
I miss the days when someone whom I liked very much discussed that topic with you. . .it was interesting to watch, hehe, but I guess it's my turn now.
Why do you believe the INC is THE church? Where is it any better Scripturally than any other Christian denomination or church?

yup, to be saved you have to be in a certain physical location susan ...NOT.
As for the subject, you don't have to be baptised to be saved, the theif on the cross is a perfect example of that.

Hi Susan!
You are right. That church, I believe, is the IGLESIA NI CRISTO. Why do I believe the INC is "THE" church?
First of all, I am a member of the IGLESIA NI CRISTO which reflects the soundness (or lack of it) of my judgment. You see, choosing a religion or church is also a matter of judgment.
Second of all, my judgment is based on what the Bible says, to wit:
"Check these witches' words against the word of God!" he says. "If their messages are DIFFERENT than mine, it is because I have NOT sent them; for they have NO light or truth in them" (Isaiah 8:20 The Loving Bible).
"...I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Rev. 19:10).
The IGLESIA NI CRISTO teaches doctrines of God and she has the "testimony of Jesus" whhich is the "spirit of prophecy."
