Okay, you don't have a testimony where you turned to Jesus and asked him to be your own personal Lord and Savior...
1Pe 3:20 that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
Nope...No one was saved thru water...They were saved by the water...In fact, they all stayed dry...Luckily, the boat floated...
And so what was that??? A baptism??? Of course not...It turns out for us to be a 'like figure' of a baptism...
Did they get wet??? Nope...And do we get wet in the baptism referred to here??? Nope...
In fact, Peter makes a distinction between getting a 'wet' baptism and a 'dry' one...
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
No water...Baptism does not mean water, or a wet cleansing...
but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: No water in the good conscience baptism...It's a spiritual baptism...It's all in your mind, and soul, and spirit...
Baptism requries water since it literally means to wet. Show something different with a legitimate opinion. Use the orignal Greek I dare you.
