If you are baptized by LDS you are an eternal member even if when you leave the Church or were already dead . What a scam.
Just when did Christ or God ever teach that baptism or remaining accountable to God is a scam? God would never simply abandon a person, even if that person shifts their standards or later walks away. Judgment belongs to God, not to institutions or individuals.
Whether someone is baptized in the LDS Church, a Protestant denomination, or an Evangelical church each believes baptism is necessary in some way for salvation. So why single one out as a “scam”?
People, or to some, may say when they lost their testimonies, “Remove me” or “Unbaptize me, I’m no longer active or I no longer believe.” The truth is, a person always has the freedom to choose to believe, to leave, or to deny faith. But choice and accountability are personal. Baptism does not remove agency, nor does it trap anyone.
So no, God or any church does not force accountability on someone against their will. Accountability exists because of personal choice, not because God refuses to let go. Ultimately, how a person stands before God is God’s responsibility to judge, not man’s.
1. Judgment belongs to God
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
2. God does not abandon people who turn away
2 Timothy 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
3. Agency and personal choice
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
4. Baptism is a covenant, not a trap
Romans 6:3-4
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5. God allows people to walk away, but will always welcome them to come home -
Luke 15:12–13 (Parable of the Prodigal Son)
