Thank you for your insight and time. Your analogies are good and I respect your opinion and will keep this in mind in future conversations. However, I still must disagree with you.

So let me ask you a question:

A man hears the good news of the Gospel. He believes what he hears and beleives that Jesus Christ died for his sins. Now, before he can get baptized he dies. Is he not saved?? Is he going to be under God's wrath, eventhough he believed?

Thanks for your kind words. Going back to the Isrealites in Egypt. It was their application of the blood of the Passover lamb on their doorposts that saved them from the angel of death. The baptism did not occur until the Red Sea. It is the Blood of Christ, our Passover Lamb, that saves us from God's wrath. It is not the Blood plus baptism.
