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.

I keep asking questions, simple questions, simply trying to engage you in a civil and reasonable discussion. You keep responding with your own preset talking points. And somehow that makes me “very dogmatic and wrong.” Interesting. In psychology this phenomenon is called projection. So, I doubt it will make any difference, but I’ll say it anyway. It is not I, but you who are missing the point.

Yes, I know you do. And so you refuse the simple question I posed, that is, the fourth question, even though I went first and answered the first three plain, simple, clear questions with no ifs, ands, or buts. There is no trick in the fourth question just as there were no tricks in the first three. So, let’s do it this way. I’ll answer it myself:
4) The two statements: our Lord Jesus Christ saves us, and, our faith saves us, cannot both be true. True or false?
False. Both statements are true.
Now, you tell me why. Do you think you can do that without the shouting and the accusations? Here I will invite others to respond, as I did in my initial post. I extend the invitation to others because I don’t sense now, as I didn’t when I couched the whole issue as a simple game in the first place (trying to make it as easy and transparent as possible), because I had no confidence that you would recognize a good faith offer to discuss seriously and respectfully.
