Brother, It wouldn't be the last time I had done that. I do think it is important to understand Baptism and to remember what it means. I am not denying the picture as you seem to imply. I do believe that Baptism is a statement concerning what Christ has done for me. Not what I have done for him. Death, burial, and resurrection is a beautiful thing. I am a Covenant child of Abraham because of what Christ did. And I reflect on it in the Lord's supper and daily meditation also. I am seated in the heavenlies by him. It just keeps getting sweeter the older I get.
