No, we don’t need “magical water’ to baptize a person. John the Baptist didn’t use “mystical water”. He used whatever water supply was near. Baptism was performed before the Catholic church was in existence.

But there was no such thing as a protastant until 1500 AD.

Does that mean all the christians who died in faith prior to martin Luther all went to hell...since they were not “born again”?

Why would Christ say to follow his word.....but not for 1500 years?

[Crim]

And so a person is either been baptised...or they havent....

The sect doesnt matter according to what you just said.....there is no “special” water...right?

Lutherans, methodists, protestants...catholics...all use the same water and word of christ to baptise....

But only the special count?

You can baptize with water out of a river, ocean, lake, faucet, drinking glass...whatever
