Warnings of sinfulness

Sure didn't take long to find a good example of why the
government shouldn't be in the business of
telling people what's sinful. Seems
Patrick
Henry College has fired a clerk for believing that
baptism was necessary for salvation. Seems to me from my
confirmation days, that whoever confesses with his lips that
Jesus is Lord and believes in his heart that God raised him
from the dead shall be saved. Patrick Henry College seems to
make its employees take a vow of belief along those lines.
Trouble is, one of their clerks had the wacky notion that
faith was not enough -- that one has to be
baptized
as well.
So, Spitball Zell: should we put a sign on every river
urging everyone to be baptized or risk damnation? Or if
faith enough? Then tell me why we want the government making
that decision.
