Have you been Baptized with The Wrong Baptism? Prior to Scriptural baptism one must be old enough to be taught the gospel and convinced enough to believe it. Obviously this rules out baby baptism since infants cannot meet the believing condition of baptism imposed by Jesus. Take the question: What is baptism? Again, the Bible is clear. Paul, one of Christ's authorized spokesmen, wrote a letter to the church in ancient Rome, the sixth book of the New Testament, commonly called Romans. In it he said, "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life". (See the sixth Chapter of Romans, verse 4). Please observe that Bible baptism involves a burial and a resurrection. Hence, we conclude that baptism is an immersion.

Will any religion get me to heaven as long as I am Sincere? Apparently many sincere people are trusting in their sincerity for salvation. But is sincerity enough?

If there is no other way to salvation than through Christ, as he clearly stated here, then sincerity alone will not do, will it?
