Men are "involved" yes, but the issue is whether or not our salvation hinges on what a 3rd party says. Does our salvation depend on them or our hearts and God? If someone in an impoverished country is water baptized by a Baptist Minister because they happened to be the only missionary to reach them, are they still lost in their sins?

You keep dodging a direct answer.

Q: If someone has truly repented, has been filled with the Holy Ghost, but in your opinion was water baptized improperly, are they saved? Or are they lost?

If they are NOT baptized in the name of Jesus, by having the name of Jesus spoken over them, EVERY SIN THEY WILL COMMIT IS GOING TO BE HELD AGAINST THEM after they are baptized wrong.
This is the fact of the matter!!!
It is not the water itself that washes away sins, but the name of the redeemer that is spoken while in the water that makes water baptism effective for remission of sins.



(no need for jokes or any LOLs on this)

I am not joking either on this note. If YOU are not baptized in Jesus' name, every sin you commit is still subject to the judgement and your sins are NOT remitted either.



What the Lord does with ANYONE that dies without remission of sins is not my beef, but I would not want to be in their shoes!!!


However, those that insist that the name of Jesus need not be spoken during baptism are the "gamblers at Golgotha"....
