The water is in the context of the verse (verse 20), "saved by water"

Peter wrote 1 Peter many years after he spoke with Paul, as Paul speaks of in Galatians. And he says in 1 Peter 3:20-21, that water baptism doth also now save us. I am not necessarily teaching that a person cannot be saved apart from water baptism. I am saying that there is power to save in...

Is that what Peter too said? 1Pe 3:20, Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1Pe 3:21, The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us...

God has written the LAW on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers who are under the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5). Christ fulfills the law for us in this: Gal 2:20, I am crucified with Christ...

The blood is in the water. 1Jo 5:8, And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, <even> the water, <even> the blood: and these three agree in one.

So, you're saying that Peter didn't have the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in his behaviour...?

One can merely believe and they "should not perish" (John 3:16). If they believe and are baptized they "shall be saved" (Mark 16:16). If they call on the name of the Lord they "shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

I would suggest meditating on how Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39 and Romans 8:30 correlate to each other as concerning the word "call", "called".

What is : The Meat of the word

I will only say that being born again will lead to doing all of that good stuff... For the fruit of the Spirit, is, among other things, goodness (Galatians 5:22-23).

No; because I am not a Catholic; new or old. I have addressed this elsewhere but I can address it again here. In context of Paul saying that Christ did not send him to baptize, he says that he baptized only a few people in Corinth in order to substantiate his point (Crispus, Gaius, and...

I do believe that these are opposite sides of the same coin.

We who have the gift of tongues know that this gift is what helps us to "keep ourselves in the love of God" (Jude 1:20-21). So, those without this gift are going to have a harder time doing so. It still, can be done, without the gift. Just not as easily.

Genuinely believing in Jesus will result in a man doing the will of the Father...which is that he be sanctified...that he abstain from fornication.

No, we were talking about what is the will of God, in context with Matthew 7:21.

lol...that is not what I said. Of course you must be born again to be able to do God's works of righteousness, even as He is righteous. It is a matter of walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4).

In the kjv: Jhn 3:5, Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

1Th 4:3, For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 1Th 4:4, That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 1Th 4:5, Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 1Th...

Of course it is God's righteousness. It is not impractical according to 1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6.
