Water baptism does not cleanse from sin.
The passage in Peter even says that.
*NOT the removal of dirt from the body*.
Water baptism does not cleanse the stain of *original sin* as Catholics claim.
*Original sin* is not even mentioned at all in Scripture.
It’s a fabrication.
I... don’t think that you quite understand what I was trying to say.
The blood of Christ is the only thing that saves from sin. But what I’m trying to claim is that baptism is one of the things that the Lord set up that DELIVERS that grace of God, not that it has grace in and of itself.
I have no idea if that makes a difference to you, but I want you to understand what I’m typing, even if you don’t agree with it.
