SHOULD I BE WATER BAPTIZED?

[CrowCross]

The topic here is addressing the water emersion of the body for sin cleansing purposes of all peoples under the new covenant. (new testament).

When I read the bible I see something more amazing that water cleaning a person...I see the blood of Christ doing the cleansing...not water.

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Back then some where eg thief on cross.

TODAY for CC to enter Heaven, I would like to see the verses where Jesus VIA Paul taught that CC must be water immersed baptized.
1 Cr 1 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize,
Odd If water immerse baptize is a requirement for CC to enter Heaven

Water baptism isn't a requirement for baptism. Baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Keep it in context...Christ on the cross and resurrection gave us ...GRACE....under which we get forgiveness of sins. But first our hearts must be cleansed and water baptism is required to complete that.

Where does the bible teach this?

How do you use water to cleanse your heart? How do you get the water into your chest cavity so you can cleanse your heart?

Yes.....Acts 2; 38 and many others.
Then u must ask How do we cleanse the heart with the act of repentance?...because of Grace given to us by Christs' death on the cross. (that is like the person asking Christ how he can be born again needing to re enter moms womb as an adult and b born again).
Step one....public acknowledgement of God as our creator and asking Him for forgiveness of our sins.
step two.....Full body baptism in water...thereby acknowledging Christ as savior.

If I understand you correctly you're saying the "heart" is symbolic of something? What is it symbolic of?
