As I specified in the OP ,accidents happens,if that bond has been not created that soul will search the path without find it it until that bond will be created in other ways.
It's fine as far as rituals go, but when it gets stupid you have to question it. For example, believing that a newborn infant has to be immediately baptized because if he dies without this he won't get into heaven is completely absurd--even if you do believe in heaven. You mean to tell me that a newborn infant who dies shortly after birth without having this ritual done won't get into heaven?
There are certain laws that is governing everything and which you cannot circumvent them no matter how hard you will try one day you will have to face them.
It's either utterly absurd or God is the cruelest being in the Universe. Either way, this is unacceptable. I believe in religious freedom. People should be allowed to believe whatever fantasies they want--as long as it does not affect the rest of us. But don't expect the rest of us to buy off on this crap.
By 'we' meaning you but if you are 'we' then you are more than one,therefore without even thinking to what is true you have spoken the truth.
I do not believe you.
How can we tell if what your saying is true or not?
It's simply a religious ritual that has no real meaning outside the beliefs of its adherents.
For not believing the truth which must be believed, the entire world right now is looking almost like the middle east or better said like third world country.
If people believed everything a religious person said without asking for evidence or good sound reasoning the entire world would look like the middle east.
What about the people who say nothing and brought the world in collapse.
What about all the people who say to "just believe" and kill others?
Saying just believe isn't a good way to educate other people.
How do I know you are not a thief and a liar?
John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah, says the Bible. Jesus said you most be "born again", of water and spirit. Holy water is symbolic for semen baptizing the egg (unconsecrated body) to create a new resurrected body for the "born again" soul.
So in the moment they are baptized a new life is given to them as the old life and sins will be forgotten,like a new chance for all:New born and Old.
"Baptism is the cleaning of the soul for a(your) new life to begin, for the bond with God to be made through the Holy Spirit."
Baptism is not a requirement to be saved, it is just one more step by man to help them feel it is within their power to control salvation, when it is not.
Everything is made to be symbolic in the true deliverance but in real life can be felt by each second of our lives without sensing the passing of that second.
In my opinion...and it is just my opinion...the act of baptism is symbolic and nothing more.
"Baptism is the cleaning of the soul for a(your) new life to begin, for the bond with God to be made through the Holy Spirit."
I don't see your words windword because your words cannot be seen by God.
That is blood that must be shed first, menses, before the baptism. The old dies and is washed clean through blood. It's all symbolic for biological rebirth.
