C'mon brethren...don't compromise a clear command of Scripture for expediency. Jesus commanded it. If we don't have to obey him regarding baptism...we don't have to obey him regarding anything.
Question baptism today...and question strict hetersexual morality tomorrow. It unravels the entire message if we deny just a portion of it.
It doesn't matter what Augustine or anyone else has written...Jesus trumps them all.

It is my own soul that I seek to save, first of all. How can I help another if I am shipwrecked myself?
You make an interesting statement:
"Argue that obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ isn't a necessity and then suddenly hundreds of millions of Christians can be classified as being saved!"
How can these "millions" even be "Christians" if they haven't "obeyed the Gospel?"
