Nice baptism post. But OPie might not readily agree with some of your remarks. I think he may have made a few prior remarks on the topic...
Of course, you are entirely correct about the battlefield example. If the dying soldier is truly saved, his lack of baptism would no more condemn him than it could have condemned the believing thief who died on the cross next to Jesus.
One really has to suspect arguments that are made from extremes. Lawyers often say that "Hard cases make bad laws". I think we could extend that principle to say "Hard cases make bad theology".

I think scripture is clear regarding every baptism. I don't think it's something we can just make up to fit what we WANT.:-)
Thanks for your comments.
