. You are Known by your words and will give an account to Him! Excuse me have you even been born again? Born of the Spirit and water? I pity you sir! You are a sad example for anyone to follow and if some should be so deluded,I pray for the Spirit of Truth to reveal YOU unto them,that they not walk in darkness with you!πππ

These passages are not speaking of "water," but of "His Death" (His actual death, in time/history [32ad], on the Cross).
Galatians 3:27 correlating also with Romans 6:3, saying, "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
And when we trusted Christ and His finished work for salvation, this took place: "for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink" 1Cor12:13. [again, not speaking of "water" here]
P.S. I'm not saying there's no such thing as "baptism" in water, in Scripture, I'm just saying the above verses do not refer to that.
[Acts 18:25, for example; John 4:1-2; 1Cor1:17, etc]

No one led me astray. 
I had meant to put a disagree all along, I just hit the wrong one due to not being fully awake, and not having my coffee yet.
The part I disagree with is, that you choose to abide with Him, when it's actually the opposite. HE keeps us abiding in Him by giving us His love. With such perfect love being offered, why would we ever want to leave?
That doesn't mean we don't still sin. We do, but we repent and are forgiven.

Amen, when we abide in Him He abides in us. Without us abiding we are dead.
He gives us the life and power to abide, but we must choose to do it.
Some believe Jesus alone keeps us, except in their belief system you can cease to abide
and still be kept by Jesus which is a denial of what Jesus himself said.
It is often confusing that these people appear to be like us in belief, yet actually deny
the very foundations upon which we stand and why, while condemning believers who
know and love Jesus from a pure heart. So do not be discouraged or upset by these false
teachers, because they only wish division and harm to His people.
