Using Romans 1 is a big leap. No NT writers tell us of a "spiritual baptism". I'll trust what they tell me.

Who built the ark?

How was Noah saved from the flood?

I believe what the bible says. Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins by calling on His name It would be nice if you would provide scripture for the things you claim. I'm sorry but I just can't take your word for it. Thanks for your...

5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized (water) in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of...

I'll be glad to discuss why I disagree. I just felt we were going in circles. I suggest to you that it would be best to let Matt. 28 and Mark 16 compliment each other since it's the same conversation. Kinda like we know Jesus was on the Mount of Olives in a garden in a place called...

Jesus said those words looking forward to the establishment of His church. After He had been given all authority, He then said The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved All conversions end in baptism.

I'm gonna disagree

Peter says Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you You say baptism cannot save you. Whom shall I believe.

The conversion happens when baptized, not before. make disciples of all nations, baptizing them If it was before, conversions would not end in baptism but all end in baptism. A good example is the apostle Paul, he still had his sins until he arose and was baptized and washed them away. Faith...

I agree their response begins within them. If that was all that is required, it would have ended there but it ends in baptism just as Jesus said. The one who has believed, past tense. and has been baptized past tense. will be saved future tense. All conversions end in water baptism...

This is my understanding. Jesus is talking to a Jew. They believe their physical birth into the Jewish nation will save them. Jesus is telling Nic that that birth will not save him and he needs to be born again. He tells him what that birth looks like. Keep in mind this is looking forward...

And the priest had to be water cleansed before they could enter service at the Temple. Today, in Christ, we are the priest and Jesus is our high priest.

Could you please clarify the question. I can take a stab at what I think you're looking for. We are not only to believe but we are to obey. God loves us so much He sent His son to die for our sins. If we are to love God and our fellow man, there is no way we can do it without works...

Why does Peter mention the flood and water to symbolize baptism?

I do not, God requires obedience. That is not faith alone. That is faith that works and I agree with that. They know little about it because it isn't a real thing. It's not in the bible. Baptism OF the HS is a false doctrine. It doesn't exist in scripture, just man's imagination.

I'm gonna disagree with you on this one. How can a branch be added unless God adds the branch. God is only going to add believers.

Not so. The one who has believed, past tense. And has been baptized, past tense. Will be saved future tense. The one who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; Yes, he who believes. Let's look at the context and how Jesus started this conversation. 3:5 Jesus answered, “Truly...

What work or amount of works could man possibly do to earn his salvation? None. What if he does no work? 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
