[Not gonna take it anymore]

If baptism means nothing, then why did Christ say to go into all nations and baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit?

Was he just talking about nothing? Was He not sure? Do you think that Christ the only Begotten son of God didn't know what he was talking about?

Douay-Rheims Bible:

Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 28:19

I didn't say that baptism means nothing, or that it's meaningless.

I said that it's as useless for attaining salvation as circumcision was.

Baptism is symbolic in nature, an outward profession of an inward act of grace.

That's why people want to be baptized after conversion, as a witness to the world of the life changing act of grace through faith that they experienced when they were born again (Jesus' words, not ours).

Matthew 28:19

Teaching all nations WHAT??? Why not try reading the bible instead of just posting one of your religion's talking points...

You guys don't fulfill that command any more than Henry Potter does...
