"Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. Anyone who refuses to
believe will be condemned."
You alone are responsible for your thoughts, beliefs and actions. Your responsibility does not belong to your mother, father, sister, brother or any other person. You alone control your thoughts, beliefs and actions. What you think, say and do will define you as a person. In that you control your thoughts one at a time, you are the only one in control of your actions. Your life is being kept on a heavenly DVD that will be played back and seen and heard at your judgement. The Lord's response to your life will be a perfect reflection of you. Anyone who believed in Him and was baptized, will be saved. Anyone who refused to believe in Jesus Christ will be condemned.
That is why the Lord's Justice is perfect. The Lord will not condemn anyone at the judgement, they will condemn themselves, based on their life DVD. You will absolve yourself or condemn yourself based on your beliefs and your actions. One of those actions was accepting the Lord into your life and being baptized in the water and the spirit. Have you responded to the "Good news"? Did you accept His salvation or have you rejected Him and His free gift of eternal life? If you believe in the gospel and rely on the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ, you will be saved. Being baptized is an outward expression of your inward belief in the Lord. What do you believe!
Those who do not believe in the Lord will be condemned to eternal separation and will suffer the second death. They actually will condemn themselves by their inaction or rejection of the Lord. They alone will be responsible for their fate. God does not want anyone to be lost or to die. He invites anyone and everyone to come to a Saving Grace of Him and His Salvation. So when people ask why a Good God would condemn anyone to Hell or death, explain how they have condemned themselves. God is not responsible for your actions or beliefs, you are! "ANYONE WHO BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED WILL BE SAVED, ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE WILL BE CONDEMNED!
