What did hinder them? With no hinderance, neglecting to go through with baptism is a denial of Christ.

some people do make some really dumb statements!
WHERE in the Bible does it say this?
"neglecting to go through with baptism is a denial of Christ"
Its being in a state of disobedience

Both of the ordinances of the church (Baptism and Communion) are partaken of purely as acts of obedience. I was baptized by immersion (in Chautauqua Lake) in June of 1982. I take communion almost every month at West Portland Baptist Church in Westfield, New York. My salvation was settled on the day I was saved, March 11, 1982.
True, but to willingly deny oneself being water baptized after saved in a real problem and act of disobedience!
