Okay, so what is it vital toward?
and
What is the "should" toward?
You are sort of dodgy.
Precious friends, after 38 years of { confusing } baptisms of: babies (rcc/reformed), regeneration (coc), and {symbolism/figuratism} baptist waters ( and about a dozen other traditional types
discovered later ), God Was Very Patient With me, and Led me To His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided! And Please Be Very Richly Encouraged And Edified In Christ And In His Wonderful
Word Of Truth:
BaptismS Scriptural short Summary!:
LORD JESUS, please open our hearts to ALL of Thy Truth. Amen:
Prophecy/Covenants/Law { for earthly Israel }:
►►► The Twelve Were Sent to {water} baptize! ◄◄◄The two "Main" (of 12) baptismS =
A) water, For remission of sins!:

B) "WITH" The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders!

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15 AV) From “Things That Differ!” (online):
...In God's Other Program of Mystery And GRACE! For The [ Heavenly ] Body Of Christ!!:
►►► Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?: ◄◄◄
Today: Only ONE Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION
Spiritually "Identifying" members In (The ONE Body Of) CHRIST!!
(Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 2:12; Galatians 3:27;
Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 12:13 AV)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concluding Question: God's ONE Baptism, Under Grace Today? = ONE?
Or, as some teach, we need to "add" water baptism [ from God's Other Prophetic Program ]
thus making Two baptisms Under Mystery/Grace = bad Math (which God doesn't have),
Correct, Precious friend?
Longer/Expounded answer is here:
ONE [ Spiritual ] Baptism
Amen.
Praise His HOLY and Wonderful Name!:

I can’t be any more succinct than this. It would be great if everyone got dunked at least once as they personally identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of our dear Lord, however if you ain't saved before getting wet it don’t mean nothing.
Okay, so what is it vital toward?

You are sort of dodgy.
Sorry, I should have said I lean towards a form of social trinitarianism, not communal trinitarianism.
You started at "Baptism has been a vital component of our conversion after our repentance." Post 1827
Then "If at all possible, I believe one should joyously submit to being baptized in water." Post 1838
Followed by "It would be great if everyone got dunked" Post 1845a
And finally "it don’t mean nothing" Post 1845b
You call this being "succinct"??? You must not be accustomed to people actually reading your posts.
Your inability to grasp what I have repeated said seems to be a comprehension issue on your end.
I think I see where you might find my statements as contradictory. Each statement is true, but you may see them as paradoxical, similar to these verses:
“For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
“So the last will be first, and the first last.”
“Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
“As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.”
If I have been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and not in the name of Jesus only am I not saved?
I do not believe that the word "Jesus" must be verbally stated in order to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit or to receive the remission of sins. You may be confusing me with others on this forum.
I most certainly do believe that baptism is meant to be the moment we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and to obtain the remission of sins.
I personally was baptized with the following, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit".
I am not sure how this is viewed by others but I believe it is acceptable.
Oneness Pentecostals are well known for teaching that water baptism must be done "in Jesus' name" ONLY. Interesting article below:
https://carm.org/oneness-pentecostal/must-baptism-be-in-jesus-name-baptize/
I believe we are saved by grace through faith and not of ourselves; it is a gift of God.
As a result that faith will show its genuine as it will manifest the good works that we have been created to do.
People should be baptised ASAP.
This is clearly a red herring statement.
No one is debating the need for faith to avoid condemnation.
Here is the verse:
Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that does not believe shall be condemned.
Focusing on the what condemns and turning a blind eye to what saves is dishonest.
It is a simple and straight forward sentence.
What saves?
Belief and baptism.
What condemns?
Unbelief.
If baptism is unnecessary for salvation then it would not be mentioned so clearly in the verse.
Grammatically you are attempting to use the second clause in the sentence to negate the first clause.
This is both dishonest and willful.
I gave you a honest and straight forward yes or no answer to your question.
Again, do you believe in faith alone regeneration? Yes or No?
