I think people can get hung up on verbiage.
The point is that the purpose of baptism is to allow for a fix to something that is broken. That Broken thing is a relationship with God.
Baptism then is the ‘key’ to unlocking the potential (door) to a relationship with God. (broken things stay broken without effort to repair)
Whether someone wants to call it baptism for simplicity, or something else to differentiate the normative from non, all people in Heaven would have a relationship with God.
All people start life with that relationship broken due to OS.
Thus, all people in Heaven had to have the door which is locked by OS, unlocked at some point to be able to accept the Love of God and return that love (be in relationship with God).
Further, if people in Heaven are in relationship with God, then baptism, or whatever someone wants to label the exceptions, which equates to the effects of baptism…
Is essential.
I thought we had nailed down the different forms for the exceptions as using the term ‘baptism’ because the effects of the term are necessary, so using one word is less complicated.
I hope that’s a little more clear.
Take care,
Mike
