If Jesus denies us, we have no hope in the judgment. Confess to dwell in God. Let us love the praise of God more than anything. Let's confess His Son before men as he commanded us. It is the burial of our sinful self and the rebirth of a self that has been wash clean by the blood of Christ.
Baptism is done for the purpose of removing our sins.
Baptism puts us into Christ. Baptism is immersion in water. Baptism is required. Baptism saves us. We are still lost without baptism.
