So the debate begins again on fatal heart attack on the way to the baptismal tank?
Add to that a sovereign God who is in control.

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
Can someone please show any scripture that might hint that not being baptized will send a person to HELL? I don't want concrete proof I just want something to try to base this doctrine on.
I just want to know how the water washes sins away thats given more power to the water then Jesus I think we should do it to be symbolic but other then that....but we already beat this horse to death..LOL

I wonder if it has to be water. Would, say, turpentine work too? Maybe even better?

So are you saying it is a requirement for salvation?
