God said: Mark 16:16 “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” What is there to interpret from this statement? There is no “but” in this statement. So why is there conjecture as to what God may or may not do? False hope? Yes. Another devil’s ploy.

That is what Huck believes too. That's why he became an ordained minister in a Baptist church. However, you wander into dangerous theological waters (pun intended) when you imply that what man is constrained by also constrains God. God is all-powerfull and may grant grace regardless of what the Bible says if He wants to. Do you deny that he has that power?
