2) You follow Jesus Christ's teachings, that is all.
You don't have to be christened, baptised or any of that stuff, that's my take anyway, i think that's more to do with joining a Jesus cult like Southern Baptist, being a member of a 'special' Jesus fan club.
I'm a Southern Baptist and we do not believe that being baptized is a necessary part of salvation, there are denominations that do though.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
