It's an art form...dunk and evade then replace the question with another question.

I'm going to set you straight, and then I'm going to leave this thread completely because it's not worth my time.
I
can debate Dan or anyone else for as long as they would like, on the Biblical necessity of Baptism in the powerful only saving name of Jesus.
I
can discuss it, and prove it from scripture... I can give my opinion on your "people get the Holy Ghost before being baptised, so that proves baptism isn't necessary" theology too...
But you are not the neighbour next door to me who has never heard... you are not the sinner I'm called to bring light too...
And since neither Dan nor you are the lost I've been called to win, nor are you likely to change your minds anytime soon ... it's a complete waste of my time.
Do not negate my reluctance to talk in circles over something, with not having ground to stand on. Believe me, I've done my homework. and so has my husband... and I've learned a few lessons along the way as well. And one of them, is don't waste your time and mental energy on the contentious. It's a biblical lesson as well.
I wouldn't use the strong language I just used, if you hadn't likened me to a lying politician. That inference was unprovoked and uncalled for.
Just as equating our belief on water and spirit to believing in a trinity was.
