Every Creature

"Jesus said to his disciples: 'Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.' " - Mark 16:15-16

I'm pretty sure Jesus doesn't mean every creature - but his instruction - "go into the whole world" - was taken quite literally. And it was quite easy, because Jesus's message - that anyone can be baptized - was universal. No matter who you are, no matter who your parents were, no matter what you've done - you can experience God's mercy and forgiveness, and live in His everlasting love.

It's that simple. No exclusions apply!
