It is you who sees division, when none exists.
Baptism does not stop being Baptism just because something is added to it.
As long as each Baptism contains the correct elements, any additional or ceremonial or spiritual elements do not void the Baptism.
You think I am being harsh? You are posting trash that would disqualify the majority of those who call themselves Christian from entering into Heaven.
In effect, you have said “go to Hell” and you expect to have polite conversation.
You are on the wrong track. I am not so arrogant as to claim I know the status of your soul, or its final destination, but I do hope that you meet with God and he has a chance to explain his amusement with you, over your rules for HIS house!
Of course, that would be after a long and happy life.
Think of it this way: If you were to list the top 100 things that God would want you to know, about the Christian Faith, I doubt that your technical legalisms would rank much higher than the priorities of the Pharisees, even if it turns out that you are 100% correct. What is appalling, to me, is that you would think God so petty as to reduce entrance into Heaven to such trivial matters.
Paul said there was one baptism and you won't admit that you don't believe that.
Water baptism serves no spiritual purpose. None.
You obviously don't even believe your own words with which you contradict yourself within a single posting!

Now I never said anything about formulas for baptism...you did...and never said anything about baptism getting one into heaven...you did...and you even in one sentence say that it has to contain the right elements (water?!) but then call it legalism to look at the details.
It doesn't bother me that you don't read the Bible and believe it. I just know better than leave pearls in front of you.
