Q1. What happens when people adopt the Christian faith without repenting of their known sins? Why do people avoid repentance? What percentage of Christians today do you think are unrepentant, unprepared in heart?
Unless a person is drawn by God, he will not truly become a Christian, because the only way he can receive mercy is if he sees himself as a sinner and that he needs God's mercy and abounding grace in order to become an adopted child of God. We can present the Good News of Christ, but cannot reason with the people we witness to but hope that God will expose their sinfulness and let them see their need for a Savior.
In response to receiving forgiveness, a soul repents and turns away from temptation of sin, and desires to please the Father.
The problem today is society seems to be more receptive of sinful behavior , making excusses for sinners or just plain overlooking immoral,sinful behavior. Or even worse, perverting the Word of God to make sin exceptable.
I could not even name what percentage of Christians today are unrepentant. Only God knows.

Q2. Offensive Baptism

John's Message and water baptism was not accepted by the Jewish leaders, because it was not their tradition.
Those who heard John preach ,repented of their sins, looking forward and believing that they needed to prepare to enter the kingdom of God, were baptized. And Jesus was baptized to be identified with sinners He came to save.
