Basically you are telling me that because most God fearing Christians do not reject Baptism that I shouldn't even question the established belief?

I think you should read my post again because I think I thoroughly explain why this is an important matter to me...
I did read the entire post.

But when you state,
"If you think you are justified in feeling that all who are not baptized are not saved then that is between you and God,..."

it sounds like you know people that, a) are Christian but not baptized, and b) know others that believe the same are lost. Just wondering if you have experienced this or if this is all hypothetical.

In general, I believe Christians pretty much all believe in baptism, while differing on modes and methods.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
