First off, I probably answered some of your questions on post #896. I don't have much time today to discuss much on-line, so I'll try to be thorough and brief.

Explain to me please where you are not referring to amniotic fluid. That's what the water of the womb is.

Yes, in John 3, I believe the word water is refering to what you label as amniotic fluid. However, you jumped to saying something about where is amniotic fluid mentioned by Peter (in Acts I believe) when he says repent and be baptised. I never said that Peter said anything about amniotic fluid, that was you confusing the matter.

So you don't agree with Christ? He instituted the sacrament of baptism very, very clearly and unambiguously..

I'm not in disagreement with Christ. Baptism is an important outward demonstration of an inward change, but it isn't required for the inward change. Baptism is a work which testifies of Christ's saving grace, but we are not saved by works.

Eph. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
