there is something wrong with your Greek bible, because mine says water baptism does save us.
Where does the Bible say water baptism saves??.
And don't say, Mk 16: 16, Because Jesus said, HE THAT BELIEVETH, Then he can be baptised,
The Greek says the emphasis for, "Saved", in Mk 16: 16, Is on the BELIEVING, not baptism, Didn't Jesus prove it??, He went on to say, "He that believeth not shall be damned".
Jesus didn't say, "He that isn't baptised shall be damned", Putting the emphasis for salvation on the Believing.
And don't say Acts 2: 38, Because in the Greek there are subjects, verbs, persons and numbers, And the all have to agree in order to build a doctrine.
Now "REPEN YE", and "YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST", Agree in person and number.
But, "Be baptised everyone of you", is completely different in person and number to Repent ye, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Again the Greek emphasis for "Remission of sins", in Acts 2: 38, Is on the "REPENTING", Not baptism.
And don't say Acts 22: 16, Because the Greek emphasis for, "Washing away sins", Is on the,
"Calling on the name of the Lord".
Also Acts 9: 6--17 tells us that Paul was saved three days before he was baptised in the Holy Ghost, And that was before he was baptised in water..
And don't say, 1 Pet 3: 21, Because Peter didn't say baptism saves, He says baptism is only a figure, A symbol.
And the Greek backs him up, by saying water baptism is,
"An expression of our ALREADY salvation, Not the medium for salvation, A symbol of salvation, Not the cause of salvation.
And don't say Gal 3: 27, Because baptism in only the symbol of salvation, We put on Christ through the rebirth, Not water baptism.
PLUS, If baptism saves, Why didn't it save the disciples, As they were baptised way before Jesus died. See Jn 3: 22--26.
