Are you pope now!
Where does scripture say this
1pet 3:21 baptism now saves us

THE relationship of water baptism to salvation is commented upon by the apostle Peter in his first letter, 1 Peter Chapter three. After telling of Jesus’ being raised in the spirit and his preaching to the spirits in prison, Peter goes on to say: “The patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water. That which corresponds to this is also now saving you, namely, baptism, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request made to God for a good conscience,) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” (1Peter 3:20,21). It is not the water that saves. Baptism is not the baptismal water. Baptism is the passing through the water by immersion therein. Baptism is an act, not water.
Noah was not saved by the Flood water. Hebrews 11:7 tells us he was saved : “By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, showed godly fear and constructed an ark for the saving of his household; and through this faith he condemned the world, and he became an heir of the righteousness that is according to faith.” Even before the flood “Noah was a righteous man. He proved himself faultless among his contemporaries. Noah walked with the true God.” (Genesis 6:9) But the time came when Noah had to make a big decision. This was when God warned him of things to come in his generation and commanded him to build the huge ark. To do this called for faith and obedience on Noah’s part. The question now was, Would Noah do God’s will? He decided to do this biggest thing in his life. So he committed himself, dedicated himself to doing God’s will. This led to salvation for him and his household. They were saved in that ark. Hebrews 10:7-9
It's faith that saves you not the water you get baptized in. Being saved takes an act of faith that you practice each day. You live each day practicing that faith.

Yes it’s required and yes he was sent (apostle means one who is sent) to baptism, all apostles are sent to baptize
Matt 28:19
He means not sent primarily to baptize
But he was baptized acts 22:16 and he did baptize
Jn 3:5 baptism
Jn 3:22 baptism
Jn 4:1 baptism
If water baptism is REQUIRED for salvation then a person dying in the desert with no water cannot be saved! You're wrong! The thief was not baptized! Do you baptize or do you sprinkle?

Round and round we go
You are not dying in the desert so you must receive the ritual of Christian baptism

immersion sprinkle pour all are acceptable with pure water three time with the name of the father son and HS

do you require me to be baptized in the the river Jordan with immersion by John the Baptist??????????????

why do John the Baptist
Kermit the frog
And whinnie the Pooh all have the same middle name?

So you are admitting water baptism is not mandatory for Christian salvation! Or just being evasive?

Not according to the Bible. The Pope doesn't overrule our Bible.

I don't require anything. But the NT teaches TOTAL IMMERSION, and no other way.

Are you mocking water baptism in the NT by total immersion?

where does the New Testament require immersion?

washed!
Purified!
Sprinkled!

1 pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

1 Peter 1:22
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: see Ez 36

Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (baptism rom 6:3-4)

Are you really saying that Jesus didn't know how to be baptized???

Matthew 3:16 (NKJV)
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water;

washed!
Purified!
Sprinkled!
No Scripure!
1 pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Sprinkling of the Blood, not water.

Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, (baptism rom 6:3-4)
Are you blaspheming and comparing the Blood of Jesus with water?

Where do you get sprinkling of water for baptism? Not the Bible. Did you just make it up? Try sticking with the Bible for a change.

The sprinkling of water saves nobody. You have no Scripture. The Pope does not overrule the Bible.

ONLY the Blood of Jesus washes away sins! Were you immersed Biblically or sprinkled unBiblically? Have you even been baptized Biblically? You're preaching water baptism for salvation, right? Maybe you should stop trusting the Pope and start reading your Bible. Do you have a Bible?

Matthew 7:1-2 (NKJV)
1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Acts 8:38 (NKJV)
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

Have you really been baptized?

And another thought, have you been baptized in the Name of Jesus as "Pope" Peter commanded?

Acts 2:38 (NKJV)
38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;

The TRUTH is that we need God in our lives.

Becoming one with yourself is the definition of sin. (self-righteousness)(spiritually dead)

We are in this reality to become one with God.

sin is handing your spirit/perception over to death ..separation. The Law/Faith is about keeping you connected to God (Life).

This reality was the only thing keeping us from going straight to the lake of fire.

God is giving us the chance to renew our spirit and join Him for eternity.

This place was always going to happen because man always asks to be about himself ..to sin.

Stop blaming God for this opportunity.

This place doesn't work unless we are given the Free Will choice to believe. So don't expect direct evidence.

We made this place corrupt by giving authority to the beast.

There is Judgement of which path you chose ..God or beast. You answer for your sins if you chose beast. The paths lead to the type of afterlife you will have.

God's Knowledge/Image/Perception through Christ
or beast knowledge/image/perception through man

Are you selling yourself to the beast nation/system?

Do you only care about man's achievements, money, and pride? If so, you are failing this test/Judgement.

Do you want LIFE or death?

if we become one with God, will we be god?

Matthew 3:5-6 (NKJV)
5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him
6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.


You think they were sprinkled?

Matthew 3:16 (NKJV)
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water;

Show us one example of water baptism by sprinkling in the Bible.
