People who do not have eternal life by entrusting themselves to Christ alone for salvation...

... and then get baptized...

Just become wet sinners.

Roger on the wet sinner. A truly saved person, who is truly in Christ, by true faith, and true faith alone, and gets baptized, becomes a wet sinner, who has already been saved once and forever, always saved, never lost again, not now, not ever. If physical water baptism is necessary for salvation, then maybe Jesus really didn't mean it when he told the dying thief he would be with Him in Paradise. By the way, that might be a subject for a different thread, like what is Paradise, what is Heaven.
At any rate, I think millions of people will be in for the complete, total shock of their existence at death, as they find themselves in the fires of Hell. Not a pretty picture, and it doesn't have to be that way. It really is so simple, my son understood it when he was 5 years old.
Of course, I think you have to completely define every word and every term you use. I found that out when dealing with Mormons and JWs. Words like Jesus Christ, faith, baptism, salvation, conjure up different concepts in their minds.
The people I deal with here, are more like the Bereans. They just want to know the truth. Imagine that, some people actually want to know the truth. What a novel concept. Keep telling the truth bro. 😂😀😋😃
