You're right, I know, and I even have cousins who are preachers. I say my prayers and read my Bible, but...
I'm NOT one who believes that if one dies in an auto accident on the way to his baptism, that he won't make Heaven.
But it's certainly the obedient, loving, faithful, submitted, humble thing to do.
And, Identifying in death and resurrection with Jesus who loves you so much is a great honor. Why be a silly rabbit about it!
