I don't know that I would say that. It is a part of ceremonial induction into the body of Christ. We are baptized INTO Christ. If someone rejects baptism it certainly calls into question the conversion experience.

I don't know that I would want much separation betwixt the two. Those who believe should be baptized, period.

It is a response to salvation, not a part of salvation.

Yes. Believers get baptized. One does not get baptized in order to become a believer. Nevertheless, I can't think of any good reason to not be baptized immediately and in conjunction with conversion.

I'll be glad to pass on to you the baptism study guide I wrote for our church. You can read it and finally understand it all!

I don't know that I have ever struggled with this much, but thanks anyway.

But you're not in complete agreement with me, therefore, you struggle!
