No, it's a good thing. I never intimated that it wasn't. Only that a person cannot save themselves.....even through good deeds and simply a repentance FROM.

I did answer the question. It is not a simple Yes or NO question. I didn't hesitate at all. The most important question is why didn't the person get baptized. If they reject it, that is a BAD thing. They're not surrendered and apparently don't want to follow God's word.
If they don't reject it and don't know about it, that is completely different. Or if a hypothetical is used, (they repent but die before baptism) of course they go to heaven. I believe there will be people in heaven who have not been baptized in Jesus' name.
I'll also respectfully ask you a Yes or No question:
If a person doesn't get baptized in Jesus' name are they going to hell, no questions, no exceptions?
