If you are satisfied with his answer even without the verse, so be it. 

I am, with or without the verses!! But here is his reply:

"Hi Peter and thank you for asking.  To be in Christ is described in John 15:1-11.  But simply it means that you have not only accepted Christ as your Savior, but you let Him be the ruler of your life...you are obedient to His commandments and his word.  Your desire is to develope the character of Jesus and reflect it.  His character is described in Galatians 5:22-23."

For me, my satisfaction rests on what our Lord and Savior said that people cannot bear fruit unless they are in Him:

Exactly, baptism!!

I don't think Doug Batchelor will contradict Christ by saying people can bear fruit while not in Him, will he, phkrause?

Absolutely!!

Did you directly ask him whether ACCEPTING Christ needed to be done first BEFORE one can be in Him? I'd like to know his direct response to that.

I guess Doug also doesn't preach that to be in Him one need to accept Christ first and foremost, does he, Peter?
