Baptism is a symbol. Water does not save you. Baptism does not save you. The cross does not save you, nor does the Pope, priests, nuns, preachers, the church, or any human living or dead. You can certainly be told about Christ from these people...but that’s where it ends. Your relationship with Christ is personal.

[Salvation]

And that personal relationship starts with Baptism. And the sooner the better.

Wouldn’t you want your child to receive graces of the Holy Spirit early on in life?

They they can more easily form that prayerful life with the Lord.

[lightman]

The person of Christ has a physical body. On this earth He used physical signs to accompany His word. He says that Baptism saves and that the bread and wine of the Eucharist are His very Body and Blood.

I do not worship a disincarnate voice but the Word made flesh.

oh, please...rules don't matter,??? Christ established a religion for a purpose...you don't get to make up the instruction book as you go along.
