You are just full of it today, STANG. 😛 Your question doesn't follow your premise. If we have free will, then we can choose to be baptised -- how does this constitute cr@p?

I have never been baptised, Baptism dont save you, its just a symbol to show everyone that you been saved, just like marching in protest againts our goverment is a symbol that you dislike our goverment.
Acts 1:4-5
4And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;
5"for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

Originally posted by i am scientistsI saw a baptism once. I didn't realise that the church had a swimming pool under its stage. The fellow walked down some stairs into the pool but tripped over on the way back out. He was not only wetter but also sore.
it makes a difference because after baptism, you are wetter(?) than before you were baptised
