He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.

Yes, Dad was witnessed to by my mother for 15 years. He was raised catholic. He was baptized catholic. Years of love and prayer brought him to a watery grave so he could rise to the newness of life.
Thank you Jesus.

I don't know.... I'm not a preacher. But my gut feeling is that while baptism is very important, God is also a very just God. He knows this person's heart. When she stands before Him after death, He will know what she wanted. He will also know what was possible.

Re: What would you do?
So this is what we did...please do not find fault all I could do was this and tell her if she gets better and the hospital will let us we will ask if they will let our church pay an ambulance to bring her to the church for us to baptize her...however this is all I could do today...
