***As I said, Christ did not make Baptism the requirement till after His ressurection: ***


What was it before hand, an elective?



You didn't address my question...

"If baptism is so critically important in terms of salvation and spiritual new birth, why do we find Paul with such an unconcerned attitude towards it?"


And we know that Paul was writing "post resurrection".




***16:16 He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned.***

Interesting to note here that damnation is a result of failure to believe, not of a failure to be baptized.
