Church of Christ?

[DHK]

Allow me to use an analogy. (may not be a great one, but...)

I need to register my car with the State. I go in and pay the fee and receive the registration form. I am also given license plates. I put the plates on the front seat and drive home. Is my car registered? I arrive home and ask my next door neighbor, who happens to be COC, for a screwdriver and 2 nuts & bolts, to put on my license plate.
Would he say that my car is not registered until I "baptize" my car by putting on my plates or...

Maybe he would require the police to check it, look it over carefully and see if it was done by "the proper authority."

We had some regular COC's that posted in the Other Christian Denom. Forum. I gave them my testimony. When I got saved--trusted Christ as my Savior, I didn't get baptized right away (for lack of teaching). I was saved through an international Christian organization on a university campus, but continued to go to a Catholic Church. I got baptized two years later.

I asked them: Suppose I had a heart attack and died between the time I was saved and the time I was baptized. Would I have gone to heaven?
The curt answer I received was this: "NO! and you wouldn't go to heaven now either!"

Pity...

Sounds like the CoC/RCC/7th Day adventists same group "close but no cigar"

As "might" have right Jesus, but a false gospel that cannot save!
