there’s only the figure of baptism that foretold Christ they however were baptized into Moses not by ritual but by faith when they passed through the sea and stood before the cloud. ( water and spirit )
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;”
1 Corinthians 10:1-2
It wasn’t a ritual in the law it was that they heard God tell them to cross the sea he held up for them and they believed and crossed safely as he told them they would that’s a figure of baptism for us . Had they not bothered to cross the sea like God told them they would have been captured and killed by Egypt again there may have been some telling the others the waters would drown them even ....
There’s no ritual I’m aware of if you are please share it in the ot for baptism which seems to be the beginning basis for your argument. It doesn’t seem like crossing the sea God parted for them was a ritual or work of law ot seems like they believed and obeyed and were saved from the pursuing army set to destroy them .
that’s New Testament doctrine based on Gods promises of remission in the prophets he’s saving us from the devils pursuit of our souls when we get baptized satans dominion over our flesh is taken so We can be set free in Christs
like israel Passed through the sea and escaped Egypt and then the waters destroyed the enemies grasp on the people so baptism into Christs death the New Testament doctrine is to cross over from the old to the new
we in Christ are to be baptized in water as an act of faith because Gods word says this it’s the only reason one should get baptized because they believe what God said our getting baptized into Christ and pass through the waters he told us about
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
Matthew 26:28 KJV
that’s a fact but this is what he said about it himself that’s applicable to mankind’s salvstion
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:16 KJV
at what point should a Christian , disbelieve Jesus word , for the sake of another’s arguments against its truth and infallibility ? Which rises up centuries later ....Isn’t that what Adam did too ?
God said something clear that offered Adam life by Gods own decree himself to
Man. But then another word comes to steal away his faith and explain by its. It believable what he said offering another route that he never put in place for mankind.
Jesus came to tell Man how to be saved , baptism is just one thing we’re supposed to hear about and believe because of we do this is going to be how faith reacts it’s a fruit of believing what he said
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
....Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”
Acts 2:38-41, 47
it’s good news That God has offered remission of our sins , it’s never going to benefit us if we refuse to hear and believe , but on the other hand
“And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;”
Hebrews 5:9 KJV
That’s not Old Testament stuff it’s for the edification of the church. And eternal salvation baptism comes because we hear about it and believe what Gods word declares our remission of sins who wouldn’t respond to the good news of the gospel and be saved is mysterious to me but I think it’s here
“But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:16-17 KJV
We have to hear the word like about baptism and believe
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
faith works when we believe not when we doubt
