Not all. But I consider this significant: that you believe that the Holy Spirit "tries", in effect saying that the Holy Spirit is not enough and that something else is required for one's salvation.

That's right...We must say YES...And we know you guys believe something extra is essential as well...You guys don't have to say YES to Jesus, but you do have to get WET...

Then does that make you responsible for your own salvation?

Sure. Saying yes is not enough. It is essential, but not enough. How many who cry Lord, Lord, will not be saved?

Negative. We must say yes, and we must have some form of baptism. But these by themselves are not enough either. Lord, Lord, doncha know?

The important word is "ordinarily." One can be saved without getting wet.
