How Important is Truth?
The Subjective Truth....
We live in a day and age where even Christians believe "what's truth for you may not be truth for me"...which makes God a rather subjective being. Is there an absolute truth?

And even more direct, on the subject of baptism, if baptism does not save how important is it to do it the way God wants it to be done Or does it matter?

Is there a right way to baptize or is that subjective? And if there was a right way in scriptures and a specific practice the early church went with...how important is that truth? Can you be saved and not have a love or desire to know the truth and obey it?

What if it's not absolutely true "water baptism is a necessary requirement in order to be saved"....how important then would being baptized and the mode of baptism be if there was really a biblically correct way of doing it?
