lol yes sis Amen to everything you said. That! was a beautifully spelled out dissertation concerning baptism. That comment I wrote about grandma dying during baptism was supposed to be attached to an earlier comment I left on this thread of water baptism lol. I left it 2 weeks ago. Wow, how embarrassing that it ended up just being by itself looking like it makes no sense. I hypothetically drew out a scene of an elderly woman that confessed JEsus as Lord and Savior, but the catch is; she's hooked up to an oxygen tank because her lungs are rapidly failing. Now, under those circumstances, it is not illogical to say that it would be almost an impossibility to complete her water baptism without it resulting in death or immediate hospitalization. Also, in those conditions, it would even be a stretch to get her ready for baptism. That's a scary thought no? yes. What a dysfunctional story that would be if a group of believers that held strongly to selected scriptures that from the onset, (in their minds) looks like water baptism is necessary for salvation. I think it would charge them to reconsider their interpretation of their belief and teaching of it. BUT I AGREED FULLY WITH YOU. Awesome stuff sister. It's an inner working of the Holy Spirit, and we get in that water when the work is heartily and mentally undeniable, not by pressure. 
The oxymoronic part is that she is trying to get saved and receive life, but loses it in the process due to a somewhat wacky belief.
