[Petronski]

1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

The like figure, or, the picture...Baptism is a 'picture' or 'figure' of your Salvation that is 'like' the account of Noah and his family being saved...And if Baptism is a 'figure', it is not the real thing...It is like the real thing...The real thing was Noah being saved by NOT falling into the water...

O please tell me you're not serious. Maybe you can have a mod delete that before too many read it.

Oh good grief, that's ridiculous.

Is that what "dime store bibles" are like?

Here's actual Scripture:

1Pe 3:20 Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.
1Pe 3:21 Whereunto baptism, being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but, the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

1Pe 3:21 Whereunto baptism, being of the like form,

Baptism is a like form of Noah being saved by water??? Oh c'mon now Petronski...Noah never touched the water...Those that got 'baptized' died...It has nothing to do with water baptism...It has to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ...
