Hmmm, unlike the clowns that teach that a baby who can not even understand his own name yet is saved by dipping him or sprinkling him with water? I read stuff from a lot of different sources but make up my own mind.

But what you quoted was not scripture.

Your obedience doesn't save you and these verses never hint that it does. Weak argument.

Paul tells that he did not receive or hear the Gospel from Ananias, but rather he heard it directly from Christ. Galatians 1:11-12 says, "For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught...

Jesus does say, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved", but Jesus did not say that whoever believes is baptized in order to be saved. It’s so easy to take this one verse and rip it out of its context, and then build a doctrine around it…maybe even a church, but taking text out of the...

Not a reference to baptism... For example, Psalm 51:2 asks God to, "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!" Even in the New Testament, water is sometimes used in reference to the idea of spiritual cleansing or purifying. Titus 3:5, for example, says, "he saved us, not...

It's not divinely inspired.

What clowns? It's the only way that the verse makes sense. Permanent Unbelief is not forgiven.

That's from a man-made doctrine, not scripture.

You aren't even listening, just repeating the same partial verses.

Those who hold to the belief that baptism is required for salvation are quick to point to this verse and the fact that it says “be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins,” assuming that the word translated “for” in this verse means “in order to get.” However, in...

Exactly. Titus 3:5 tells us that it's the Spirit we are baptized with.

The verse clearly says that baptism is a symbol. Not salvation.

Um..no. You can't get there from here. Once again you're cutting verses in half, twisting scripture to try to make it say something that doesn't. What did John the Baptist say? That Jesus would baptize with the holy Spirit and with fire, not with water. The Born again experience is to be...

Whoa there, Nelly! You're not rightly dividing the Word of Truth. Philip said he could be baptized because he believed, not because the water would save him. You are trying to force baptismal regeneration into multiple verses. You can believe in the water or you can believe in Jesus. You can not...

How would I? I have the Spirit. Can I blaspheme the One who lives in me? If it's unforgivable in this life and the next, the person who commits it can never be saved. That's obvious. And the only sin that does that is unbelief.

Another verse making it clear that the water doesn't save. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of...

You only quoted half the verse...21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with...

If it's not the sin that damns us, it's obviously not unforgiven. And the weight of scripture indicates that the only sin that damns us is unbelief.

Baptism by water doesn't save. When we were saved by grace through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, we were positioned in Him and identified with Him. We were clothed with Christ.. placed into the body of Christ and made one with Him.. and Paul calls this...
