We do it because God says do it-- regardless of how we see it fitting in to the process.

That is what I teach. My question is not whether baptism is essential to salvation; my question is why would a person not be baptized?
an interesting side note; in the church where I serve on staff (a Charismatic church of about 350 in regular attendance) I do most of the baptizing. When the senior pastor saw me baptize the firsst time he asked me where I learned to baptize like that (I combine
Matthew 28:19 and
Acts 2:38) then declared that is the way this church will baptize from now on. So, in this otherwise trinitarian church, everyone who has been baptized here over the past four years has been baptized in Jesus name.
