He said what He said, NL, in Rev. 1:5. You can tear it out of your Bible or use a marker to scratch the verse out, but that doesn’t change it. He said it. It’s there. And you cannot change that fact.

If they think it’s the water they need to see the other verses that apply.

Do they use purified water and are they sure it’s pure or is it symbolic?

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Do they practice emersion or is the sprinkling symbolic?

Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Or is the washing of water by the word?

Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

They think the water makes them clean but Jesus says it’s the word He “has spoken”.

John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Looks to me like they have to deny portions of scripture to make their theory work. But that applies to more that they teach.
