Exactly. Yes, God demands perfection, and we attain that through the covering blood of Christ...If you're not baptized, you don't have the blood applied to your life.
God IS merciful, longsuffering, kind...He is also Holy and Just and Righteous...he won't violate His word to fulfill someone's idea that God is ONLY loving and kind.
