[Cronos]

It's not a game.

The game is any belief in the pre-tribulation rapture fantasy.

As I said - The thief on the cross was an exception. Jesus clearly said that baptism was necessary for salvation.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

Let's also be precise - a theology such as yours which arose in the 19th century, is false compared to the belief of early Christians as seen in the Didache - which matches the Catholic/Orthodox/Oriental Orthodox faith

A pre-trib rapture belief is not a requirement for salvation. However, the things I noted are for the RC.
