Actually what you have been doing is making excuses why it is not listed as a requirement in scripture.. .Oh they meant it or it is implied yada yada yada..

It just is not there Period

You have a salvation of works my friend..

God is no respecter of persons, so the salvation preached to one is the salvation preached to all. Acts 2:38 is clear, we are called to repent and be baptized for the remission of sins. The "work" in baptism is being done by God, we are just called to submit to the act. If that bothers you, then that is your decision. I have no problem submitting to the God's will, and it is clear to me that this includes baptism for the remission of sins.

God Bless.
