Your quote says who ever does not believe. Does not include "who does not baptize".Baptism like many things in bible require more than one sentence to describe it.
It is true that one does not need to be baptized to be saved. Though, I would have to question the faith of someone who willfully rejects baptism when understanding it in full

Two things. If the verse is valid, it still doesn't mention water. Hence, I would say it is talking about Spirit Baptism.
Are there any examples in the Bible of Baptism being demonstrated without water?

I do not call her my god, I get that's a term people use which is as silly as 'my country' but she/it is the real goddess of reality. The mother of it.I have explained this elsewhere but specifically morally and psychologically, she is in human terms an extremely high functioning sociopath with probably a variant of what we call borderline personality disorder but a version where she feels everyone will reject the real her or accept her only becasue she programmed them to, she is in a hell of her own and soothes herself by watching us as entertainment. Nothing more to it, yes she finds beauty perhaps in the good emotions but also in the agony and bad ones.
Is this a view you learned about or more like a self-conceived conclusion you came to? I ask because I am unfamiliar with this belief
It sounds like this god has a lot of personal issues. "in a hell of her own" "soothes herself" "feels everyone will reject the real her" Why does she have them?

Yet, baptism doesn't save us.
"Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." - Mark 16:16
Are you disagreeing with this? Faith and Baptism save you, but lack of Baptism is not inherently a road to condemnation--only lack of faith is.

Right, that’s why there are no laws or regulations governing the manufacture or use of automobiles and we don’t require people to get a driver’s license or wear a seat belt. Because cars don’t kill people, people kill people. The speed limits are for the people not the cars. That’s why you never see someone running faster than 70 mph down the highway. Because the speed limit applies to people, not automobiles.
It took me ten minutes to figure out you were being sarcastic. I was looking at this like "Wut?"
You're right, my initial post about "cars driving drunk" is only a joke. Don't take it any other way.
They are looking for an echo chamber of alternative reality. It’s my obligation as a citizen to deny them that echo chamber.
I am new to your views. What echo chamber are "they" looking for? As opposed to your views, what is the information "they" believe?

I have read similar tips such as when you're in your 20s, you have much more freedom to take larger risks because you usually do not have a family to take care of yet. Also, you are in your prime and can work with lots of intensity

Granted. Sadly, the US military is corrupt rendering the power of friendship negligible because the soldiers aren't united within nor are they united against their enemy factions, they just want to get their pay by shooting some middle eastern people and leave. Same goes for the Russian and Ukrainian armies.However, the power of the brotherhood quickly becomes prominent for the North Korean army and they would take South Korea by force. The force becomes greater as an active oppression of sources of information tends to unite the soldiers as they have less distractions in the military. Eventually, the US would be forcefully taken by authoritarian regimes such as North Korea via a landing in California in the long term, that is forseeable.More than that, gangs and drug rings could actually attack or manipulate people to join them or to die solely because bonding is prominent as well in those leadership groups. the US is quickly ridden by these underground criminals and the ass in the pain is collectively shared as a problem for all countries in the world.Geniuses are being repressed because the power of friendship of three people each less than 1/3 of his collective abilities are able to get a massive boost due to their "friendship". Scientific progress halts because... well, those who win are almost guaranteed to not be lonely geniuses or at that level except for fields where no one cares about, like geology. Nepotism springs upward as well as their interpersonal bond with the wealthy and the powerful and the related can manifest tangibly instead of figuratively. Opportunities are given towards those who wouldn't deserve it fully and rightfully, and in all fields a tyranny of the many would quickly become the status quo as those who side with the initiator on anything could possibly win just by the bond, even if the initiator calls batshit crazy stuff such as increasing the educational spending & funding up to $500B.
Is this a legitimate possibility you see in the US and/or happening in the world?

You cannot possibly have a good god enabling all the bad things, it doesn't possibly work. You're either wilfully lying or too stupid to follow, any prophet who says this is corrupt.
What about Free Will? Is there Free Will in forcing us to only doing good? Is there any love in that?

I don't agree that baptism is meant to save us"Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you," - 1 Peter 3:21aThe context reveals that water symbolises baptism which saves you. Not that the water saves you, but the baptism of the Spirit, which water baptism symbolises.Hence, water baptism does not save. Spirit baptism does.
If we are to separate the "water" baptism from the "Spirit" baptism, is not the Spirit entering through you via the water baptism? Baptism is done with water. I do not understand how you split the two

Nor do I think all should be baptised.Why not?For what purpose?
Baptism saves us, and God commands to go out and baptize others. Baptism rituals should be distributed.
"And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”" - Acts 2:38
Baptism is stressed to be administered to all

Baby's should not be baptised, because then what is the point?The whole point of you getting baptized is you are taking a step of faith and showing others that you are a son or daughter of God.
Baptism is not a show or meant to be a public-display. Baptism is meant to save us, and all are to be Baptized

Pop would be the easiest to learn as the complexity of the songs are not very, so feel to give one of that genre. If you have a song from a different genre, know that I have been swamped with many suggestions *looking at Athias right now* and have already taken up Sidewalker's request for Into the Mystic by Van Morrison

Creative take on my wish.
My wish: I wish that I will get a girlfriend (of unspecified identity, preferably human) and she will slap me in the face.
Your wish is granted. In these unprecedented times, the number of LGBTQ+ members is increasing. Its influence reaches Will Smith. Mr. Smith "becomes" a woman and only wears the women's line of clothing his son Jayden sported. He leaves Jada for his true lover, a scholarly IRL Intel_06. Will tries to hide his PTSD from Chris Rock's jokes at the Oscar's, but is prone to compulsive slapping fits towards the nearest person. Lucky you

and after praying to his "father" to "relieve him of his terror".
Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane,
"O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." - Matthew 26:39 KJV. Jesus was anxious for the events of the night, but He was still willing to carry out His Father's commands.
And this does not in anyway resemble sitting on the throne of King David to rule over the Jews and reign over all of Jerusalem "for ever and ever", as his mother was promised.
The kingdom of Jesus is not a worldly kingdom. God does rule over us. "Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations." Psalm 145:13 KJV

@BrotherD.Thomas
This is all about the definition of murder.
The ability to kill is a by-product of living in an imperfect world. God utilized our ability to kill to further His goals. Take a look at King David or Gideon or Moses' attack on Jericho. There were evil and dangerous foes that God knew had to be destroyed.
It sounds like you are saying all killing is murder. Is this correct?

Why it is that you seem to have decided to single out myself and Brother D. Thomas when there is also ; b9_ntt , Melcharaz , SkepticalOne, zedvictor4 , hey-yo and Deb-8-a-bull to "deabte" or "interact" with seems just as interesting to me.
You and Thomas are the only ones thus far that have wanted a discussion about Biblical topics within the forum. SkepticalOne and b9_ are interested in legit debate. I mentioned you both as the two to continue conversation within this forum
