How about God’s Chosen? where is Baptism as a requirement in the Old Testament, none... it wasn’t a law given by God.
My salvation comes from Christ, it's not found in the OT. And it's impossible to find salvific baptism in the OT, before the sacrifice of Jesus' death and resurrection.
the reason baptism is not necessary for salvation is that we are justified by faith (Rom. 5:1, Eph. 2:8)
You're taking Eph 2:8 out of context. read in context it's clear that Paul was writing about Jewish Christians trying to impose circumsion on the Gentiles.
I am not taking scripture out of context just because it goes against your belief - Hey, just saying if your grandma just accepted Jesus on her death bed, would she be saved with out baptism, according to scripture, yes... so you can be rest assured that she will meet you in Heaven.
