If you're not baptized by a mormon....you can't be saved.
First of all there is no such thing as a mormon. Second you have to be baptized by someone who has authority (Melchezdeck Priesthood)
All christian churches that don't acknowledge that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and not named after some other person, name or cute phrase.. is not a member of His Kingdom here on earth..
Your own LDS people say if a person is baptized and a corner of their clothing isn't immersed....the baptism must be performed again.
Here.
- All ordinances must be performed by the authority of the priesthood. Only brethren who hold the necessary priesthood and are worthy should perform or stand in the circle for an ordinance.
Correct, complete immersion, not sprinkling of water or a partial immersion..
One of a few prayers or ordinances that has to be stated perfectly...Baptism
The ordinance of baptism is performed only by a worthy priest or Melchizedek Priesthood holder under the direction of the presiding authority. The priesthood holder:
Each baptism must be witnessed by two priests or Melchizedek Priesthood holders, who make sure it is performed properly. The baptism must be repeated if the prayer was not stated accurately or if part of the body or clothing of the person being baptized was not immersed completely.
- Stands in the water with the person to be baptized.
- (For convenience and safety) holds the person’s right wrist with his left hand; the person being baptized holds the priesthood holder’s left wrist with his or her left hand.
- Raises his right arm to the square.
- States the person’s full name and says, “Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen” (D&C 20:73).
- Has the person hold his or her nose with the right hand (for convenience); then the priesthood holder places his right hand high on the person’s back and immerses the person completely, including the person’s clothing.
- Helps the person come up out of the water.
