Oh gosh! Ted, are you as a Christian commanded to be baptized? To partake of the Lord's Supper? To abstain from sexual immorality? Etc., etc., etc.

IF we are talking "justification," none of those "commandments" apply.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. - Romans 3:23-25 ESV
