1 Corinthians 3:8-15
8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,
13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

My faith is wholly in the Cross.

I believe that some enter into a relationship with the Cross when they are baptized.

If your faith was wholly in the cross. You would not be fighting two brothers here demanding we are saved by water baptism for remission of sin.

I am sorry brother but what you state in one hand does not jive with what you say in the other.

You said you started to be saved.

You say I must be baptised to recieve remission of sin. No one is saved unless they recieve remission of sin.

so when did you recieve forgiveness of sin, When God baptised you into Christ his death and burial where your sins were washed away

or when you were baptsed in water?

See Acts 22:16, and also interpret literally apart from your arguments against its plain meaning, and you may have your answer.

You were baptized in the name of Jesus only per what Peter said in Acts
I was baptised into the name of Faher the Son and the Holy Spirit per what Jesus said.

Was Peter being disobedient to Jesus when he baptized in a different formula?

If you accept that the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost is Jesus, then you are indeed saved (1 Peter 3:20-21, Acts 4:10-12).
 
I am not going to argue with the two of you any more. I choose to pray for you instead.

2Ti 2:24, And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2Ti 2:25, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2Ti 2:26, And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

2Co 10:3, For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2Co 10:4, (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
2Co 10:5, Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Not sure what you are saying above.

I believe in God Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Interested to know why you say ghost.
Is that same as the Holy Spirit?

I repent of saying that that was my last word.

Because the Lord just gave me one more thing to say, as I prayed for you guys.

And that is, that baptismal regeneration is preached in the following scripture.

Eze 36:25, Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Eze 36:26, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27, And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

I am refraining from answering any more as this has become something of an inquisition.

Praying for you guys, though.
 
Here is another passage that the Lord gave me for you as I was praying.

Mat 7:7, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Mat 7:8, For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
