BAPTISM NOW SAVES YOU--BY STEVE FINNELL
1 Peter 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:(KJB)
The Bible says baptism doth now save us .....by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Faith alone advocates say baptism has nothing to do with salvation. They say it is a simple act of obedience.
1 Peter 3:21 Baptism, which is like that water, now saves you. Baptism doesn't save by removing dirt from the body. Rather, baptism is a request to God for a clear conscience. It saves you through Jesus Christ, who came back from death to life.(God's Word Translation)
The Bible says baptism....now saves you.

Faith only proponents say water baptism has nothing to do with salvation. They say baptism is only essential in order to join a denominational church.
Faith only enthusiasts proclaim that baptism does not save, but is only a testimony of faith to the community.
Faith only defenders state that men can get to heaven without being baptized in water, however they cannot join the local church without baptism.
Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.(English Standard Version)
Jesus said whoever is baptized will be saved. Will be, is future tense not past tense. Will be saved does not mean has already been saved.
Faith only champions say men are baptized because their sins have already been forgiven.

Nay, RATHER brother Steve the BAPTISM which is BY FAITH on JESUS CHRIST the SON OF GOD is what SAVES A PERSON. NOT "water baptism" though.
If "water baptism" saves that means that Christ DIED IN VAIN. The Lord Jesus Christ did NOT "die in vain".
Repentant sinners are SAVED by GRACE through FAITH on the SON OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST and NOT by an "additional requirement" of "water baptism": http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Believer's%20Corner/Doctrines/spirit_baptism_saves.htm
Water baptism is to be done as an act of profession as a new believer of the Lord Jesus Christ once someone is a new convert but water baptism has NO PART in actual SALVATION that is ONLY done and provided by FAITH on JESUS CHRIST. Amen.
