Love-Immersion or Love-baptism is essential to Salvation.

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Because the word Love is the only word that loves all words,
water is just ONE symbol of Love.

So when we repent of being in any sin of Hate by committing to being totally immersed in Love, Acts 2:38-40, 1 John 3:4, Matthew 22:36-40 and 1 John 4:16,

God symbolises that commitment to being totally immersed in Love by having us being totally immersed in water.

So.

Being in Love is what is essential. 1 Corin 13:1-3.

Being immersed in water is optional as with Abraham, david, etc and Cornelius...who got the Holy Spirit of Love WITHOUT being totally imersed in water. acts 10.

Being totally immersed in water WITHOUT being totally committed to being totally immersed in Love is a false baptism, in some places called a dunking or a baptism that did not take.
In those cases, what is needed is NOT re-baptism but re-pentance of the Sin of Hatred by committing self to being totally immersed in Love.

Then in that committment to being totally immersed in Love,
it does not matter the mode of baptism nor any baptism:
one committed to being in total Love can be sprinkled all over: Isa 52:15; totally immersed in water; totally circumcised, which is a redundant phrase; or not baptised nor circimcised not have any symbol since the person ahs the real thing: being totally immersed in Love ...already.smile

1 Corin 7:
18Is any man called being circumcised[or baptised]?
let him not become uncircumcised[or unbaptised].

Is any called in uncircumcision[or in unbaptism]?
let him not be circumcised [nor baptised].

19Circumcision [or baptism] is nothing,
and uncircumcision [nor unbaptism] is nothing,
but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

So rather than asking people if they are baptised, we shd ask them if they are in Love,
or
have you repented of the sin of hatred for yourself and all others by committing yourself to Love of yourself as all others.

Totally immersed in essential Love, and in water or in circimcision or in sprinkles or none-such as bonus options,
