Concerning your question, if the true Gospel is preached and generates a heart converted to faith in Christ, it is of my opinion that that soul is saved regardless of the mistaken way the subject of baptism is handled in his church. Since baptism has nothing to do with saving a man's soul before God it is a separate and distinct issue altogether.

Thank you for a straightforward answer!
Based on the discussion on this thread, it would seem that some believe in baptism only as a point of obedience to a command. (Which I understand) With this viewpoint, however, if one does not obey the commandment (which is not a suggestion but rather a mandate) how is salvation realized?
