just so I'm on the same page, is that interpretation you're talking about that the only way to Heaven is to accept Jesus as your savior? Because like dawgslife said...there really isn't any debate about that, from a Christian perspective. That is the only way, period. Granted, some Christians are AWFUL at relating that message. Some do it in completely piss poor ways. But that interpretation isn't something they just sat down and came up with, it's basically the one basic, fundamental, bottom line tenant of the entire religion.
The 13% believe that the act of being a Christian must precede baptism. The other 87% think it starts when Baptised at birth, thus, 87% of Christians are not saved according to the 13%s opinion of the translation of the Bible put together by the 87% folks about 1600 years ago give or take.
I mean, I guess the Bible is clearer to the 13%.

well, I guess I'm in the 13. Baptism isn't even a requirement. I always liked the way our pastor described baptism. It's like a wedding ring; just wearing it doesn't make you married, it's just an outward symbol that you are. You aren't required to wear a wedding ring, but if you're married, why wouldn't you want to?
When you're born, you can't make major decisions like being saved. Someone baptising you or sprinking water on your head as an infant isn't going to save you. Getting saved is a conscious, intentional decision a person makes.
Going back to what I said ealier, the Bible is emphatically clear that the only way to heaven is to be saved, by accepting Jesus as your savior. Being baptised as a baby before you even have a concept of what any of that means is essentially worthless, IMO.
