I just don't have the wherewithal to get into a heavy baptism discussion at this time, so I was just addressing this notion.

I understand what you are saying and I do make efforts to base my "I believe's" on a scriptural foundation. However in relation to this particular subject I see these different "wordings" as technicalities - nothing more. I could be wrong - I am always open to learning.
