But let's face it, neither baptism nor communion are
necessary for salvation. Ask the theif on the cross
next to Jesus if he was baptized or took communion. He
did not, yet he was with Jesus in paradise that very
same day.

In other words, we will deal gracefully with differing
views of doctrine, of course. That said, we can not
affirm views which contradict scripture when dealing
with the very basics of salvation.

Of course, that's just my opinion. What do I know?
