To: one Lord one faith one baptism
My legitimate water baptism was after I received Jesus Christ as my savior NOT when I was sprinkled as a tiny baby not even understanding what was being done to me. It was by faith that I am/was saved and not an outward act before others. God sees my heart. He knows if a person's faith is genuine. There is a baptism of the Holy Spirit and there is an ordinance of water baptism. The former is what makes one redeemed. The latter only makes one wet if the faith is not real. I choose to believe God over manmade religion.

We are living in an age that was foretold 2,000 years ago, namely that there would be a great falling away from the Faith right before the return of the Lord Jesus on Judgement Day.
It is stunning the speed in which this apostasy is taken hold, historical Christianity is rejected except by a very small remnant. Satan has taken his seat in the temple of God and deception is the order of the day.
People are very comfortable believing whatever THEY want, and justify it by thinking their heart is in the right place. Forget what they believe was unheard of by any Christian for 1,500 years. The historical orthodox Christian Faith is called man made religion. Deception is the order of the day.
The Scriptures and history are so clear, yet few see it. It is stunning.
