Nothing about repenting from sin or the Gospel in this. Just make sure you spend a lot of money to stay clean when you supposedly declare your public profession of faith in Jesus Christ. Here is a pitch from Leslie who is involved in the reality show called “Big Rich Texas“.
How about a window into what Leslie values.
Imagine how horrifying it must be for people like this to read about baptism in the New Testament.
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea. Acts 8:34-40
“Some water” sure does not sound very clean does it? And they had been traveling for some time. Imagine how dirty they were and they probably did not take a bath before getting into the water. Oh my.
2 Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away—sad situation
