Mr. Gymnast appears to be suggesting that someone would allow the fear of possibly looking foolish keep them from eternal salvation.

This may be at least part of the reason that Turner and Barker...possibly Shipp...haven't fully investigated and/or moved along the path of conversion. There is a LOT riding on baptism and moving forward in faith in the church. It is not an easy thing to do for anyone. That is, if they're really serious about it.
I'm so glad such a difficult, monumental decision with so much riding on it can be made by children who are 8 years old. It makes complete sense.

Yes.

It's quite simple really. The reason these people have not been baptized into the church is because they have already figured out the Sanctorium Loophole into the Celestial Kingdom.
