The Sacramental bond of the Unity of Christians
1271
Baptism constitutes the foundation of the communion among all Christians, including those who are not yet in full communion with the Catholic Church: “For men who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in some, though imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church. Justified by faith in Baptism, [they] are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers by the children of the Catholic Church” 80
“Baptism therefore constitutes the sacramental bond of unity existing among all who through it are reborn.” 81

Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Joh 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Pretty conclusive...Cut and dried...No baptism...No justification in baptism...
The word of God disagrees with your plan of salvation and church membership...So what has the legitimate authority, your church or the word of God???
