Being baptized is a passive action on our part...

Of course, you can't baptise yourself, sheesh

the emphasis is being the SUBJECT of baptism "in the name of Jesus"...any newborn can be baptized without having to have a "YOU MUST...requirement" checklist handed to them --> yet, Jesus said He who believes and is baptized will be saved. (Mk 16:16) -- believes and is baptised --> now, I believe in what Jesus said in the Bible. Why don't you?

Why don't you EVER cite the REST of Mark 16:16? Why do you ALWAYS seem to perform surgery on it & cut it off?

Go ahead. Cite the rest: Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. (Mark 16:16)

Is it because you don't like that Mark doesn't say, "whoever does not believe AND IS NOT BAPTIZED will be condemned." ????
