But I would already know ahead of time he hadn't been baptized in Jesus' name. That's a given. I would indeed tell him that this is the only way that we have record of anyone being baptized in the early church outside of John's baptism of course. I would explain that to him for sure.
Why explain that to him? Would you tell him that he'd be lost if he weren't baptized in the name of the Lord?

LOL. If Billy Graham was in my home he probably would have been - dead or alive.
I'll quit. I can see you're not going to answer me, and I don't think you're one of the ones who gets all bent out of shape stating someone is lost after they've died.
It seems it's ok for some to make the assessment that a person is lost before they die, but once death arrives those same ones start the "God will be the judge" stuff, forgetting that just seconds before they had judged that person lost.

Hey bro....
I've just been drawing this out - for a little bit of fun.
I've stated many times that I have no problem saying what I believe it takes to be saved. And I have no problem saying that if a man doesn't do those things it's not ME who says his salvation is at stake. It's the Word of God that says that.
My issue is with those who say ..... "This is what it takes to be saved .... A,B,C, D" or whatever. Then when they're asked the hard questions like you've put to me they dance all around the question trying to avoid giving the hard answer.
And like as has been stated here, funeral messages are often very interesting in this regard as well.

As I said, I knew you weren't one to do so, and we agree that it's sorta........well, not sure of the word right now. Cowardly, unstable, double-minded?
Anywho........thanks for playing.....the game and me!
