So, what was your point?

My original point was to courteously reply to your post 3660 in post 3665. And I thought I clearly stated my views despite your subsequent attempt to distort it. I will reiterate the important essence of my 3665 reply.

But I surely know that I was not saved because I did these things.

thanks for your courteous reply.

My followup question remains:

As regards Baptism, do you believe it is optional for us? Is this what Jesus taught?
