A fellow Christian baptized me. That is all that is required. You don't have to have a Pope or a Father do it. Same with the Lords Supper.

It is obvious you have your beliefs and I have mine. I would encourage you to dust off your Bible instead of your Good Catholic Manual and give it a good reading. Make sure that the men you are following are not leading you astray. Good luck and God Bless.

Something tells me if you had your own church building (probably an abandoned storefront like most of the IFB types in my area) you'd have a sign about "hell-bound popes" too.

The hate seethes through your post.

There is no need to resort to ad hominems. I know my Bible. I can read it in Hebrew and Greek. Those who claim that they don't need anyone else to mediate, never fail to ask someone else to baptize them. Some day, they will all realize, that they don't need to get up on Sunday mornings. They can baptize themselves, make their own communion, preach to themselves, etc. Or maybe at least get together for a social, so as not to "forsake the assembling of yourselves together". Or, maybe they will realize that individualism is a rejection of the doctrine of the Body of Christ, wherein not all are the head.

God gave me a mind and his complete word that I would need no one(besides Christ) to show me to salvation.

I thought you "need no one" to show you to salvation - how can you reconcile these two comments?
