Ok, obviously, this only applies to christians who are familiar with the topic, so thanks...
My best friend is getting married. She and her fiance are both saved, but "kevin" is not baptized. He is new to his faith, and wants to grow and learn more before following with baptism. They are attending 8 couciling sessions with him prior to marriage, and 12 after. He recently dropped the bombshell that he will not marry them if Kevin is not baptized. They said that they do not want to wait, and "Jane" is fine with him being saved and waiting for baptism until he is ready. They do not believe he should have to get baptized just to appease the pastor. The pastor said that if thats not an option for them, that he demands that kevin attend classes and take tests to 'prove' his faith. that seems odd to me. Only God can know our hearts, and his faith should be between him and God, and him and his wife. I know that the bible says to be equally yolked, but isnt baptism just
