Am I so entitled,
is it there in my name
Is the water redemptive,
my salvation proclaimed
Does the Rock Of All Ages
line my river with stone
Are the words mine by birthright,
not borrowed or loaned
Is all time but a servant,
flowing inward to send
A beginning eternal,
whilst slaying the end
Is my legacy written
in the current redeemed
As the present rechristens
—my baptismal name freed

I must say that I had raised an eyebrow to this poem. Respectfully, you asked alot of serious questions, and I must say that as a Christian I feel a certain responsibility and conviction to spread the gospel. To recieve salvation, it is not necessary to be baptized in water so much as it is to be baptized in the spirit. To recieve salvation you must ask Christ to forgive you of your sins, and accept him into your heart. Still, baptism is a testimony of your faith, but it is not necessary. This is a good poem.
Jesus saves.
Persistence is key
Thanks for reading.
Amen again!
