We are regenerated by the Holy Ghost; not by getting wet.

If you are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, the Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to you (Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39).

He is also promised to you if you merely ask for Him from the Father (Luke 11:9-13)

not what the Bible says Jn 3:4 by water and the Holy Spirit
Baptism is the outward sign of the covenant

That makes God unjust!
There is no eternal security!
And no one is saved until the moment of death matt 24:13
You have free will and can choose to not abide in Christ Jn 15:1
You can choose apostasy

Neither of those things are true and they're not taught in scripture. Man has not freewill nor can he choose to not abide in Christ.

Are you nuts, Jn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

whosoever has free will to choose to believe or not to believe or Jesus would not say Jn 15:1 abide in me unless you have free will to choose to abide or not to abide, you can choose to be faithful or to apostasy
Matt 24:13 you must with free will choose to endure to the end or be lost

if you have no free will you cannot sin, you must know it’s wrong and still choose to do it

Free will to choose good or evil

Proverbs 1:29
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

Luke 10:42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Besides the scripture you quoted, you have given nothing but your way of thinking ! Man has a ability to choose, but no ability to choose spiritually good since hes dead spiritually. If a man chooses spiritually good, its because they had been made alive first spiritually by newbirth like mary Lk 10:42
