The patient, who had been baptized a Methodist, asked his father

That's not how it works...You don't get baptized anything...Unless you're of course, a Catholic...You can be baptized a Catholic, born a Catholic, or even buy the position of pope as history shows us...

Christian baptism is for those only who have repented and turned to Jesus as their Savior...Baptism is an outward sign that we have participated in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ...

Not as Methodists, or Baptists, but Christians...

Really?

Methodists baptize babies by sprinkling.

Baptists only baptize "believers," not babies, and only by immersion.

Do you seriously want me to believe that a Methodist who joins a Baptist church won't be rebaptized?

**The patient, who had been baptized a Methodist, asked his father**

Well, he apparently settled for one of ‘Ahab’s prophets’ instead of seeking out a prophet of the Lord. (I do thank the soldier for his service)

**That’s not how it works**

That line is right.

One is to be “...baptized in the name of JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION of SINS...”. Acts 2:38

It is an act of obedience to the call of God, that he says is for the remission of sins. It is no more an act of ‘our own works’ than physically going to hear a preacher of the gospel for the first time.

When is one physically dead? When the blood is dead. When the blood is dead, the organs are worthless. Life is in the blood.
