Peter said receiving the Holy Ghost was promised to those who believed and obeyed his entire message. (Acts 2:2-42) Scripture reveals that some receive the Holy Ghost before being water baptized, and others after being water baptized. (Acts 8:12-18, 19:1-7) What is revealed in all conversion experiences is the need to believe in Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, repentance, obedience to water baptism in the name of Jesus for remission of sin, and being indwelt with the Holy Ghost.

You should be more specific. Because if you cannot be specific about what is un-Christ-like about my posts, then I think that you are just trying to make a general statement that cannot be disputed for that there is no frame of reference to determined whether or not the behaviour was Christ-like or not; it cannot be judged because the specifics have not been mentioned.

All too often what gets reported as heresy is not, but I routinely find heretical posts that have never been reported.
Heresies (not all inclusive):
Rejection of the Deity/Eternality of Christ
Universalism (everyone ends up in heaven eventually)
Rejection of the Omniscience/Omnipotence/Omnipresence of God
Rejection of the Trinity

"Water baptism is merely the picture of the reality."
What does this mean?
"Spirit baptism is the reality."
Spirit baptism by nature is metaphysical and cannot be used as a reference point in our reality. Water baptism is by nature physical and hence is used by the scriptures as the ordained moment in time for the forgiveness of sins.
Water baptism for the remission of sins is not a "picture" but simply a point of contact with the grace of God.
Water baptism for the remission of sins is a rather straight forward concept.
It seems you are the one obsessed with water baptism.

God sent His Son to die in my place. I will be damned to think my actions are unto His salvation . God sent the perfect Lamb to the Cross shed His blood for the remission of sins . I will never put getting dunked in a river on the same , or as some here, above the Blood of Jesus. We are saved by

Gal_6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
I will not glory in the river dunking nor what is called the Baptism of the Holy Spirit of 40+ years ago.
