Please show me Scripture where Stephen received his "grace" through Baptism.

No, thank you. Even if I were to show Stephen being baptized, you would argue that it doesn't impart any grace. So let's not bother.

Your refusal to respond to your dogmatic statement is simply an admission you made it up!

When you make absoloute statements you should be prepared to back them up. You cannot simply assume you won't be called on it.

Are you going to answer the question or are you prepared to admit your statement was made up of whole cloth?
