OK, let’s try this again, Catsrus (and anyone else who would like to take part). I merely pointed out that 1 Peter 3:21 says that baptism saves us. Argue with it all you want. It says what it says. I am trying to get you to look at and meditate upon what the Scriptures say instead of jumping to wild conclusions and accusations, nothing more, nothing less.

So, a simple little test:

1) Our Lord Jesus Christ saves us: True or false?

2) Our faith saves us: True or false?

3) Our works save us: True or false?

I put in 3) just to get that issue out of the way. In case you fear some kind of a trap or disingenuousness on my part, I will supply the answers:

1) True.

2) True.

3) False.

Now, let’s add 4).

4) The two statements: our Lord Jesus Christ saves us, and, our faith saves us, cannot both be true. True or false?

This one I will let you answer. I will wait for your reply.

You’re missing the point. Baptism does not save us. AS I shared previously, but, it seems apparent that you are very dogmatic and wrong in what you believe.

Hebrews 11:1 gives us the definition of faith. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 Corinthians 5:7, Paul says, “We walk by faith, not by sight.

It is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, repenting of our sins and asking Him into our hearts - His work on Calvary that saves us. Though we can’t see Him, we believe, or have faith.

So, I think your little game is misconstrued.
