If you continue to be a good person I think you will end up with God in the end regardless of not being baptized. I believe God will take you in even if you have no set religionl.
Myself, I was born and raised Catholic, but I do not practice because I do not believe in a lot of what this religion is about.
I have not found THE religion for me yet, but I am a Christian and I do believe that God will not turn his back on me just because I don't go to an organized church. I pray, I believe, but I don't take part in any religion.

baptism symbolizes ur faith of being saved to the world. the reason we get baptized into a certain church is usually because we want people to know that this religion is the religion closest to what I believe. even if some people say there doesn't need to be a certain denomination you have to enter, they belief you have is structured off some sort of denomination & the closest to your belief is used because that is the one that will support you most. the people in that congregation will help you with your faith, when you are discouraged, there will be someone there who will understand what your talking about, and when someone else is discouraged, you can do the same. that is the function of different churches. if you do feel the call of God, i hope you do get baptized. there is no shame in believing.

Nothing. There is no reason to be baptized, just take a shower and you will feel much better, and cleaner. None of the Great Religions, or rather the patriarchic ones are correct. They leave out the infinite feminine. It is a must, as it is below, so is it above.

The thief on the cross was not baptized either. Christ was baptized only because it is becoming to fulfill all righteousness. I don't think GOD the father would have refused him who is with out crime.
We on the other hand have committed crimes. hurt others, spoken in anger, played a practical joke, called someone a foul name or mocked them, simply omitted a truth.
We are not perfect. that crime is what will ultimately separate us from a perfect being.
GOD has given us a chance at forgiveness. most will not even look at it. Some mock it. many will not pursue it until it is too late to learn enough.
a very few will test it and GOD and discover him.
GOD hides himself from those whom have angered him because he cannot be around this wrong. He would be tempted to destroy us. He has said he will only reveal himself to those who look for him. This is why many people attest that there is no GOD. If GOD is truth, you will find him there.

...You don't need to follow a "religion" to be a Saved child of God... (what "religion" is God anyhow..?) ...read the Scriptures... God never started any "religion"... He said "follow Me"... He is the Way, the Truth and the Life...
(Baptism is an outward sign of "faith"... Anyone who is a believer in the God of Abraham can Scriptually baptize you If you want to be). You don't need a "religious" leader to do it... John the Baptist was not a priest or a religious leader...he was a believer. and...remember the "thief on the cross" who was dieing with Jesus... he wasn't baptized and Jesus clearly told him that because he believed... "today, you will be with me in Paradise"...

You are not going to be rapture.
I agree with you on religens, they are the traditions of man and not of God.
I am considered a christian but do not things that are the traditions of man. I do the will of God. What have you done for God?
DO THE WILL OF GOD
You need to find a home church, be obedient, follow his word, be baptized with the holy spirit, show your self approved and do the will of God (Mark 16: 15 - 18)

Do you think that baptism confers some protection against evil or guarantee a favourable opinion from the higher being you believe in? It is something you do which is symbolic of your belief that Christ is God. Your move.

Forget about religion. Why even assume there is a god? You have no reason to believe there is... it's just superstition. Is it possible? Maybe. That could mean anything... maybe God is Mr. Potato Head, sitting on a giant onion somewhere in outer space. The truth is... it is illogical to even try to understand what came before the scientific beginning of the universe. It's just not worth spending time on.

Well the thief on the cross wasn't baptized and on his death cross he asked Jesus to forgive him and remember him when He came into His kingdom and Jesus forgave him and said "This day you will be with me in paradise," So I suppose if you just believe in Him you'll be ok.
