LOL, please everyone read Daniel’s post and see if he tells us where the following are contained in the Bible:
1. where baptism is ever called “water baptism”?
CORRECT ANSWER - NO WHERE
2. where baptism is ever referred to as a symbol?
CORRECT ANSWER - NO WHERE
3. where anyone was ever told to be baptized as a testimony to others?
CORRECT ANSWER - NO WHERE
4. where anyone was ever told to be baptized as a first act of obedience?
CORRECT ANSWER - NO WHERE
indeed, the Bible doesn’t “GO THERE”.
THAT’S WHY NO ONE BELIEVED THESE HERESIES BEFORE THE 16TH CENTURY. EVEN MOST REFORMERS REJECTED THESE DOCTRINES!

We are still waiting for you to admit that were wrong in contending that forgiveness and regeneration did not precede baptism when it clearly did [(Acts 10:43-47), and thus this a first formal act of obedience was “an outward display of something that has happened inwardly already,” that being the baptism with the Holy Spirit (Acts 11:16; 1Cor. 12:13; cf. Heb. 6:2) which was testimony to others of their acceptance with God] and further exampling your blindness is only another testimony against Romanism and your desperate sophistry.
And once again, until you can at least admit your blindness than you yourself are not worthy of further attempts to dialog. Maybe another RC would like to argue that Acts 10 is not showing regeneration occurring before baptism, and actually argue against what i hold, as stated.
