Beloved, I know many people who like repetition. They like to repeat the same old mistakes over and over and over again. However, in the religious life of a believer, there can be, and are, inflection points. Baptism is one such inflection point. What this means is that whatever mistakes were made prior to a person's Baptism generally should not be repeated. Baptism creates a new creature --- a new human being in essence. What was old has passed and the new has appeared. Old things are gone. The new has come.

Now, I know absolutely crazy people who like to repeat the same things in their lives over and over and over again and learn no lessons from their mistakes. Folks, these people absolutely don't learn. They keep repeating the same mistakes all the while expecting different results. As someone famous once said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Jesus famously spoke the following words "Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 What he meant by this was that once you accept Jesus into your life and are Baptized, if you consider another God other than YHWH or His son Jesus, there is nothing left but condemnation for you and you are unfit for the Kingdom of God. So say you were walking in the Spiritual blindness of a different religion, and saw the light of Jesus and accepted Him into your life and were converted, but then decided to abandon Christ and embrace that old religion again, you would not be worthy of the Kingdom of God. Beloved, make no mistake -- you must choose. Baptism is an inflection point from where there is no return. Once you are Baptized you are a Christian and accepting any other religion than the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) after that point will condemn you to Hell.
