Water baptism, can you agree with this statement?
 
A statement was provided as a concluding sentence in a post offered by Adino in another thread.

I do not take [water] baptism "out of the equation" for proper Christian behavior. I do take it "out of the equation" for salvation before God.

It seemed like such a good basis to get understanding about the folks that post here so I wanted to create an OPEN poll that simply asks you,
YES or NO; does this statement represent your understanding about the scriptural witness pertaining to water baptism?
It is an open poll, meaning people can see the poster's name when viewing the poll results, but afterall, water baptism is so often a topic among us most of us have answered this same thing many times in many ways. So why not consider one more time....go ahead and vote...its your RIGHT!

If you would have to provide a caveat or modify, your answer would be NO.

If it can stand as written, your answer would be YES.

Here is some feedback offered from within the thread where Adino provided this statement that I am using as what you are voting on in this poll:

Two things... the poll is not there and you neglected to include my feedback! :)

Do you have me on ignore or was it so devastating to your cause you chose to exclude it?:killinme:killinme J/K

If the poll was here yet, I'd vote No.

I will take water baptism out of the equation when Peter does.

Hey, Phil
1.I barely ever start a thread
2.I have never made a poll before.
3.I have never done multiple quotes.
4.Your feedback 'over there' might cause others to be 'skeered'.

I think the poll is up now. I can see it. But it wouldn't be the first time I could see something that you could not!:killinme

Don't forget a button for the answer, "I have no idea what this poll is about, nor do I care." ;)
