    I don’t see why it would impact religion at all. Just because the Bible doesn’t address life elsewhere doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And if it does, that doesn’t necessarily have to impact religion or have anything to do with redemption because we wouldn’t even know what type of life forms they are.
    It’s one of those things that’s honestly of no consequence , so there’s no real reason to mull over it constantly or fret about what “impact” it’d supposedly have on our faith.

    Gen1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens **** and the earth. ( ** there is up to an infinite step of creation between the words heaven and earth). For example, "I made pasta and garlic bread" doesn't mean that I didn't also make pasta sauce and green beans. Another example "I made dinner and pie for desert"....."dinner" could be literally anything, I didn't walk you through what was included in 'dinner.' Another example, Jesus ate many meals in his life that are not mentioned (some are), that doesn't mean the other meals didn't happen. Also he lived a whole childhood that isn't (fully) described.

      That is a difficult one. I can tell you what I was taught and what I experienced. I do not have a miraculous conversion story to share. My walk with GOD and Christ took time to establish and will continue until I draw my last breath. I do beleive people recieve the Holy Spirt when they are saved. The Holy Spirt convicts you when you do something that upsets GOD. There is a feeling of guilt and shame when you do a sin that I cannot explain, but you feel the need to repent in the name of Jesus Christ. You will stop to really care about the pleasures of this world and seek to walk the way Jesus did. To love everyone.

I will tell you, though I don't believe it is essential for salvation, it did truly change my life. Convictions were laid on my heart louder and I have changed so much in just 2 years. Those convictions were laid on my heart one by one as I could tell God knew I couldn't handle them all at once. I know He has patience with us. He knows what we are working on and what He is working on us about. Keep praying for strength and walking towards Him. You will find strength you didn't know you had. Another thing is Abraham was not baptized but him willing to offer up Isaac showed God that He had faith and the faith was what qualified him not the action of offering Isaac...the faith behind it alone. Please don't neglect baptism or assembling with other Christians but start out slow if you have to. Benjamin please stop scaring young Christians with these lies. If you truly believe you will go to hell without baptism then you are saying right now that Jesus lied to the thief on the cross and Abraham is in Hell right now.

There they spoke of Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. Then the Holy Spirit fell on the men listening to Peter. A very powerful miracle!! Yes the scripture mentions using water for baptism but think about the first time Jesus revealed himself to the Samaritan woman at the well. He says that he has Living Water!!! That Living Water relinquishes our thirst. The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are three in one. They are Merciful proven by Jesus being crucified for our sin. John 3:16. We put our Faith in God for our salvation. Why can’t we do the same for others who don’t have access to the same, “audience” we do in a baptism.
      Plus the scripture doesn’t necessarily prove that baptism is necessary for salvation. Only through Jesus do we enter the kingdom of heaven. God knows our hearts and knows when we are being genuine otherwise we would all lie to God and act good during our baptisms and then do nothing different until we die and Go to heaven.
