Welllll, I wouldn't say nothing. But certainly justification doesn't guarantee salvation. Christ died for all men, and in that sense "saved"the whole world, but we know not all will in the end be saved.
Which is what I said in shortened format which is what autistic people tend to do. Never use two words if one will do.

21 The like figure


Do you see this word "figure"?

"the like .....>FIGURE"............

This is the NT defining water as a FIGURE........as it then talks about Salvation.

Do you know what a figure is?........ Its a symbol or a likeness.......a representation.
Its not the REAL THING>........its a "figure"...

That is your verse, and that is your RELIGION.

So, all the water cults and the cultists that are deceived by the water cults, have been mislead into thinking that a "FIGURE" of salvation, that is described as water baptism, is the REAL Salvation.
ITs not.

baptismal regeneration written in scripture is cancelled out.


Your water cult theology of "baptismal regeneration" is found in one demonic bible that created all the water cults.
You need to burn that bible, as it has caused you to believe a lie, for many many years.

As a symbol? Sure. As needed for salvation? No.
If it is not salvational(or, irrelevant), why did Phillip make faith a prerequisite for water baptism(irrelevant symbol)?...


36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

One should not profess what one doesn't possess. That would be a lie. Like taking communion as a non believer.

That is not what Phillip meant by insisting the man had to have pure faith in Jesus to be baptized.(Phillip was obeying the premise of Mark 16:16).

Taking communion is a phony ritual made up by the RCC.

Originally, there was a communal feast celebrating the death of Christ.

Religion dumbed it down to a wafer and a sip, with unscriptural soul searching.

You don't take communion? Phillip gives permission for the baptism. He doesn't command it.

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

What gave the man the idea to get baptized?

Did Phillip tell him?

Why did the man get baptized immediately?

still says baptism (not water only or water cult) but the complete ritual of Christian baptism “baptism now saves you”!

not your “faith alone” cult
