THORONDIR RESPONDED TO CHEWBACCA: "What an inane post. An adult who goes to be baptized into the body of Christ must certainly be asking Jesus into his heart."
"Must certainly?" Getting baptized does NOT necessarily mean that someone is (or has become) a Christian. It just means they were baptized. Please see John 3:16---it says NOTHING about getting baptized as a prerequisite of becomming a Christian. Indeed, if such were the case, then the thief who died with Jesus on the cross and chose to believe that Jesus was his Saviour---at his LAST BREATH---would NOT be saved. Yet JESUS HIMSELF said the thief would be joining Him that day in paradise---(WITHOUT baptism first).
Some people get baptized because it is "the thing to do" or "it's their time in life."
THORONDIR ADDED: "Your post is nothing more than a standard prepared anti-Catholic attack based on heretical wack-job theology. Just cut it out. Nobody needs your anti-Catholic baiting."
Chewbacca's comment is neither Catholic nor Protestant---it is BIBLICAL.
