Which baptism actually counts for eternity?
The baptism that counts for eternity is the one that places the true, genuine believer into the body of Christ. It is not a matter of having one's name on church rolls. The Holy Spirit places the saved believer into that body, and only the saved are members of it.
Les teaches that the only baptism that really counts for eternity is the one placing the true, genuine believer into the body of Christ. He warns that a person can have his name on umpteen church rolls, but unless he is in the body of Christ, he is doomed, and Scripture makes this plain. If someone is a child of God, he is in the body of Christ because the Holy Spirit placed him there, as Paul makes plain. As members of that body, believers keep their individuality and each has a unique place, yet they are one. That oneness explains why believers feel at home with fellow believers, a oneness no other group can experience.
