Baptism is so often an uncomfortable subject, and humans like to make Godzilla scenarios to avoid it. "But what if..." At the same time, sometimes people will say, "Well it's being baptized into the knowledge of Christ." When looked at in scriptural terms, this doesn't seem to be the reaction of the first people to follow Christ. Check out these two examples:
"As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, "Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?" (Acts 8:36)
And as Ananias said to Paul, "And now why do you delay? Having arisen, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name." (Acts 22:16)
Apparently baptism was done in water, and it was associated with having sins removed—the very things which separate us from God, and which we need removed. So if we start making strange scenarios, we need to ask, "Why is my response different than the eunuch's? Than Paul's? Can God not see my desire and provide me a place to be baptized?"
"For the entire Law is fulfilled in in this one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."—Gal 5:14
