See, I see two sides. They are dressed up like little commodores from a kiddie party and they are each in their own boat throwing rocks at each other being ignorant of their own imperfections as long as they focus on their enemy

To the, it was silly to fail to deal with something that might be a technicality rather than look at a technicality as something to disregard. "If that's all I have to do, then let's do it!" was their attitude.

i am a strong believer in Acts 2:38. I just don't be adding anything to it. And i don't believe one can accept Christ with their mouth, or that an even perfect 'water' baptism, with everyone holding their mouths correctly, means anything if one does not proceed to find the spiritual immersion in Christ.

The thing is that some preaching has a negative backside....one I didn't see for many, many years. I don't think it is wrong at all to be rebaptized if one is doing it in faith believing that that is a better way.....but to tell someone you are not saved and will go to hell if you do not do this is quite another.

He that sins souls is wise, and there are lots of unwise preachers out there. But in the end, it falls on our shoulders if we allowed their negativity to affect us. We don't have to allow that.

What you are saying is that if I don't agree with you and think your way, I am thereby allowing negativity to affect me. Correlation does not imply causation. This is one of the logical fallacies promoted by OP's.

No, I am saying that the bible is speaking highly and positively about what we must do to be saved, and you are making it out that it is a labour wortghy of misery because of the preachers who unwisely affected you to be hurt by those thoughts of what we must do to be saved. You are too subjective and not being objective enough to think that perhaps your reactions just may not validate your viewpoint.
