Baptism

Baptism is symbolic of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. It is good to do once the age of accountability is reached and ready, but not necessary to have eternal life in the 3rd earth age. Asking Christ into your heart and believing on Him, the one true Christ is paramount, but not the symbolism of baptism itself. The sinner on the Cross with Christ was told He'd be in Heaven and he was just on the Cross saved and believed on Christ, but not baptized. Luke 23:39-43

When baptizing, Christ told us how it should be done:

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

I Peter 3:31-22 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him.

Baptism is not what "gets you to heaven" or to think once baptized nothing you do can keep you from it. Believing on Christ and repentance and doing God's work daily is what will keep you in good standing. We are sinners in the flesh, so to think being washed clean once will keep us clean is folly. Thinking we need but be rebaptized is akin to resurrecting Christ over and over. It is not He that sins, but us continually...repent and do better is all that is necessary.  Once Saved Not Always Saved

Another misconception regarding baptism is that spoken of in John 3:3-8. Where it states that "except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God". This is referring to water birth (birth through the womb (water sac) of woman) in this 2nd earth age and not that of baptism. It is required that we come through this 2nd earth age the way in which God has stipulated and not through Satan's plan of fallen angels. Satan's Plan: Altering the Seedline...The Fallen Angels...
