I’m not allowed to have questions?
Absolutely but you had said you are here to learn and then switched gears to teaching mode when others were answering your questions. Its just an observation is all. No worries.

If you say baptismal regeneration is not biblical or valid you should be able to provide a verse that says so, I can provide verses that say not by “faith alone”!

That is "regeneration" -- being born again -- and baptismal regeneration is definitely NOT biblical.

When a sinner believes on the Lord Jesus Christ and repents, he or she receives the gift of the Holy Spirit. And God the Holy Spirit causes the sinner to be regenerated -- born again (John 1:12,13). It is only AFTER that, that the believer is to be baptized by immersion. So regeneration comes first, water baptism comes next.
The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to the one who receives baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38-39).

Whereas one might also receive the Holy Ghost merely by asking for Him (Luke 11:9-13).

If there is any doubt, it certainly doesn't hurt to get this one done...baptism in Jesus' Name.

No baptism must be in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit! And there is only one Christian baptism, you can only be born again once, eph 4:5

Did Peter disobey the Lord when he baptized with a certain formula in Acts of the Apostles 2:38-39?

Ephesians 4:5 proclaims that there is one Lord.

Is this Lord not the Father (Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21)?

Yet, no one can say that Jesus is the Lord, except by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3 (kjv)).

And, Jesus is the Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6).

If Jesus therefore is not the Father, then the Father is a separate Lord from Jesus Christ, then that is two Lords; and you have a contradiction to what it says in Ephesians 4:5.

I encourage you to look up the scriptures that I have referenced.

Be a Berean (Acts of the Apostles 17:10-11).
