Reading the Bible, it says (paraphrasing ) believe on The Lord Jesus and you will be saved. It doesn’t say you have to be baptized on acceptance, baptized at birth, dance around an oak tree at midnight, or any other sacrament.

There is nothing that says only certain folk will go to heaven. those that wont are those who actively reject His love (Stalin I would use as an example based on his actions and statements).

A church or sect that makes all sorts of hoops to jump through is more interested in governing your life than salvation. JMO

Well said...
Sacraments, a Roman Legal ocncept, are the means by which the professional religionists, who are no different than the political opportunists (mercenaries) with High School IQ’s, make you think that they are the intermediary with the One and Living God... they are, clearly, anti-Christ. In the Greek rendering, ‘anti’ means “in the place of”. We must run to Christ Jesus the One Mediator, God with us... not Satan’s fake christianity which has pews filled with unconverted religionist-boy-scouts and Oprah-worshippers in all their lovely little, and big, brick and mortar mausoleums with neon signs manifesting their 501c3 betrayals.. Delusion, Inc. Franciscam.

Love of money... root of all evil. Hypocrisy... the garb of churchianists.
