If you teach water is an integral part of salvation confusing it with the baptism with the Holy Spirit as I believe you are then its a major issue .
You are free to believe as you will. I don't agree with your perception of my beliefs as you know.
I'll say this, when you or anyone here dismiss water baptism in any regard as relates to salvation, you're corrupting the message of Christ himself.
The sticky point that you enter in, it doesn't say water, is nonsense quite frankly.
The greek, the tense, the verb, etc... at the linked sites in this discussion make things pretty clear.
Personally, I think anyone who works at negating the importance of water baptism have not a prayer of championing much less understanding holy spirit baptism. Because they're using their own carnal ego's to supersede the holy spirit teacher that was God incarnate as Jesus who himself taught of the importance of water baptism.
Two different baptisms. No equivocation. No nonsense like saying in rebuttal to baptism passages, it doesn't say water...... It doesn't need to. That you and others refuse to see that makes me wonder.
I'm done belaboring this point. When you start off misrepresenting what I've actually said, you've actually not made a point against anything I've written about baptism.
Taking water baptism out of the scripture messages is offensive. You and others like you have my deepest sympathy.
We're done.
