To: Mark17
You mean I don't have to gamble on eternity, and wait till I die, to figure out if my good works outweigh my bad works, so I can barge my way into Heaven?

Yep! Salvation is found in Christ.

So how does one get "in Christ"?

"Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life... our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin...Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him" - Romans 6:3-8

Beware of those who say there are other ways of salvation besides being in Christ. And beware of those who say there are other ways to get in Christ besides baptism. Anyone who follows such false teachers will end up where they're headed.

So if I drag some drunk out of a whorehouse and con him into getting baptized, the next day he will be a Christian??? In Christ???
