By itself .. it does not.
Accepting Christ as your Savior is the “Spirit” part; Baptism is the “Water” part.
I clearly said that in my post.
I’m sorry if I didn’t make that clear. Jesus told us that to deny we knew HIM meant that HE could deny HE knew us. But, when you make a public statement by participating in Baptism, you are publically acknowledging your acceptance of Jesus as your Savior; therefore, Jesus can never deny HE knows you. Not even if you fall away, or go astray, HE still will not deny HE knows you.
Ae you saying that you do not believe the Bible? Especially John 3:5?
I know Him and need Him very badly right now.
