“Yeah that pretty much settles it Baptism does save you”

Well then, from your two semesters of Greek we get the mechanical act of baptism is continuing to save us. Of course that contradicts what Peter says in 1 Peter 1:5, “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” but who needs to reconcile apparent contradictions when one has dogma.

So you are saying that the Bible is lying?

You know that usually you folks whine that the main things are the plain, and the plain things are the main things.

What could be more plain than "Baptism now saves you" Unless of course it would be "This is My Body", and This is My Blood."

Let me know when you guys decide to get your stories straight.
