"I will not hop around the scriptures"
That is a very telling statement. You would rather point to denominational "experts" for proof than deal with what Christ said in His Word. I am more than happy to "hop around the scriptures" all day long. That is the only true way to know what is right (2 Timothy 2:15).
Don't give me this bibber-babber. These are people from multiple denominations. They've showed you what the Greek said but, yeah, everyone is bias against your opinion.
Well if you're happy to hop around then hop on over to this verse:
Rom 10:17 "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
You won't find anything about baptism on how we receive our faith and without faith it is impossible to please Him. But you'll probably ignore that just as you've ignored other examples in Acts.
Just answer one question, if one repents and believes and he dies before he can be baptized.. is he in hell?
