So when he flat out right denies a vital scripture that comes straight from the Bible that's okay with you. Not with me. When you don't admit Acts 3: 28 means a Christian must repent and be baptized I sure wonder if he has a Bible or not! He has asked many offensive questions and statements , read the posts ! It is either extreme ignorance or a lie!
THE BAPTISM THAT SAVES IS THE IMMERSION INTO THE SPIRITUAL BODY OF CHRIST.
The THIEF ON THE CROSS WAS NOT BAPTIZED IN WATER, BY HE WAS BAPTIZED INTO THE SPIRITUAL BODY OF CHRIST:
1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV)
13
For by one Spirit are we all [INCLUDING THAT THIEF ON THE CROSS] baptized into one body, whether
we be Jews or Gentiles, whether
we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Peter 3:20 (NCV)
20 who refused to obey God long ago in the time of Noah. God was waiting patiently for them while Noah was building the boat.
Only a few people—eight in all—were saved by water.
All climbing into a Baptistery, or Lake, or River does, is AFTER YOU ARE SAVED, you can make that one of your STEPS OF OBEDIENCE OUT OF LOVE FOR HIM, as you PUBLICLY IDENTIFY WITH CHRIST. WATER DOES NOT SAVE ANYONE, except NOAH and his family, because they got into the ARK.
