After we have understanding God and the bible more and decided to follow Him for the rest of life and surrender life to Him, make life-time commitment, putting God first, we will move the next stage,
repent and get baptized. That baptism is like wedding day. But it is just the beginning stage as a Christian.
--------------
You didn't write the word: receiving Jesus as saviour. Is it part of repent get baptized like you shared above ? If yes then it's fine.

...
This marriage vow can still be broken if the guy decided to leave his spouse. Just like a Christian journey, if we leave the faith (leaving church and God), we are leaving the body of Christ for long period of time. Imagine if you accidentally cut your finger, if you quickly go to the hospital, you can still attach back that finger. But if after few days, that finger can become rotten already. But that's just analogy. - marriage stage
...
This analogy is wrong. because the understanding is wrong. Allow me to fix

the marriage cannot be broken unless AAA.
If you leave the faith, the marrigage is not broken unless AAA
If you leave church and GOD, the marriage is not borken unless AAA
if you are leaving the body of Christ for long period of time, the marriage still not broken, unless AAA
therefore the analogy of rotten finger is wrong
in malaysia people lured to become moslem because of privileges correct ?This issue is simple,
what's inside that person heart ?
if the person say: "You know Jesus, i love you but i cannot lost my bumiputera status. Help me and understand me". The marriage still not broken hallelujah ...
if the person say: "You know Jesus, i love you but i need to get business so i need to be moslem. Help me and understand me". The marriage still not broken hallelujah ...
if the person say: "You know Jesus, i love you but ISIS is trying to shoot me. I need to convert. Help me and understand me". The marriage still not broken hallelujah ...
why not broken, because GOD knows you love him, trying to worship Christ, but external forces push you down.------- what is AAA ?
It's complicated.
This example below is a simple one.
Try to catch UW heart (not mine, UW)familiar with job in the bible ? Job 42:10...
imagine after job's fortune restored,
imagine after all protection of GOD he received,
now i am talking about job after fortune restored, not before devil screwed him.
imagine all the blessing job had...
imagine suddenly job say:
"enough GOD, i hate you. i denounce Christ because you died in the cross. I decline your work in salvation because you blessed me".only and only if "imaginary job" says like above, then he is closer to AAA condition.
"imaginary job" is denouncing Christ work on salvation without any reason, without any single torture, without any persecution... then .. "imaginary job" is closer to AAA condition.
can you write worse condition than AAA ? then you may have a new definition how to lost Christ salvation.
