I'm not interested in the arguments of either side - I am well aware of the opinions on both sides, and I can easily search out hundreds if not thousands of articles on both sides of the topic. What I am interested in is if people who believe salvation is by faith alone consider "baptism necessary" Christians as unsaved or merely in error but not unsaved.
I am well aware of both sides of the issues, and there is a convenient sticky post at the top of the subforum that covers these topics. I am more interested in the status of Christians who believe baptism is necessary rather than a result.
As for my opinion, I think such a Christian is saved, and Romans 14 is my basis. To paraphrase and re-phrase, if a Christian believes baptism is necessary, such a Christian does it to the Lord and God has received him.
