Apparently there is no talking to you - as they say, your heart is hardened and your ears are deaf. So, I will not attempt further to mention baptism and the need for it to you.

There has been plenty of documentation here of what the Bible says about baptism, even Jesus was baptised - but, lo, you choose to ignore those verses in the Bible. So, who can help you? You have re-written your Bible to exclude any need for baptism.

Take it up with God - you are beyond our help. Tell God there was no need to continually talk about baptism in the Bible - as you fully understand - He did not mean anything by it.

Me, I'm not willing to ignore it for my soul. Who am I to pick only those verses that said believe and you are saved and to choose to ignore those verses that say, repent, be baptised for the remission of sin and you will be saved. Surely they did not actually mean you had to do anything to show your acceptance of Christ and to cleanse yourself of your past sins. Surely.

Romans 3:24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

27  Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Is Romans not in the CoC bible?
