Hold on. When you get dipped (I assume you mean christened), all the crap you did and will do is forgiven? That cant possibly be right. You still got a negative karma balance ;)
Your "negative karma balance" gets payed for by Jesus blood. Not when you're baptized, when you believe. The judge takes your death sentence for you, payed in full, past and future.
so, all I can do is hope my belief is enough and I actually have no control? Strong believer but a total asshole gets away? Screw that! It makes life pointless. Karma makes more sense
The teachings of the historic Jesus are actually more similar to eastern philosophy. (read Gospel of Thomas)
To clarify, from Ephesians 1 "When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance."
Christian belief is binary. You do or you don't. You wouldn't(often or continually) be a total asshole if you believed.
How have you come by that knowledge?
Reading the Bible
Life is relative not absolute...
Sounds like a religious belief to me 😉
