If one refuses to obey and be water baptized... or if Jesus name baptism is revealed to a person and they continue to rebel against it... yes... I do believe that God can cut them off.

I totally agree. Ananias commanded Saul to call on (
invoke) the Name of the Lord in baptism. Why don't we teach that? Why do we hang someone's salvation on a "
priest" saying the right "
incantation" over them? Ridiculous.
