Well, first of all, the article says that the man who was swept out to sea was helping to perform the baptism. He was not the one being baptized.
And second, water baptism is not a requirement for eternal life. Water baptism is a ritual which is observed by one who has already been eternally saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.
Perhaps the proverb which says if you have nothing good to say, keep your mouth shut applies here and in everyday life.
Would you say what you said in your post to Mike 555 face to face? If not, then...
I appreciate, how concerned you are for others?
And I would have no difficulty, repeating what has already been spoken.
But, I may have been a bit insensitive for which I apologize.

Why is it that fundamentalists, generally speaking, have a one-track mind?
Apparently, he wasn't saved; but drown in icy-cold waters.
And that was not meant to be funny!
