Thanks for the ping, X.

Upon reading your words, and the words of Zuriel which exlicted them, I'm having some difficulty understanding the matter under discussion. If it is of baptism as necessary for salvation, I can share Luther's position, which is that it was not the absense of baptism that condemns, but the absense of faith. Said another way, the lack of baptism does not condemn, but the despising of the same does.

Excellent line!

Is that Luther's or your own?
