I’m with Spurgeon:

“The velvet has got into our ministers’ mouths of late, but we must unrobe ourselves of soft raiment, and truth must be spoken, and nothing but truth; for of all lies which have dragged millions down to hell, I look upon this as being one of the most atrocious — that in a Protestant Church there should be found those who swear that baptism saves the soul. Call a man a Baptist, or a Presbyterian, or a Dissenter, or a Churchman, that is nothing to me — if he says that baptism saves the soul, out upon him, out upon him, he states what God never taught, what the Bible never laid down, and what ought never to be maintained by men who profess that the Bible, and the whole Bible, is the religion of Protestants.”

A snippet from: Baptismal Regeneration
A Sermon (No. 573) Delivered at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington
by Charles Spurgeon, June 5th, 1864

I respect much of what Spurgeon did and said, but Mr. Spurgeon is not inspired and it proves nothing to appeal to him like holy scripture came out of his mouth. Search the Scriptures instead!
