Amen, Paul himself told us that “Christ didn’t send me,(him) to baptize”, but to preach the gospel, for it is the gospel which saves...

Unbelievable. Have you never heard of the Great Commission? Read that and then tell me Jesus did not command baptism.

"There is ONE BODY, and ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are called in ONE HOPE of your calling. ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all." (Eph. 4:4-6).

For BY ONE SPIRIT are we all baptized into one body..."(1 Cor. 12:13).

It is the Holy Spirit, in this dispensation of grace we are living in, that baptizes us into Christ; not baptism by water. It is a spiritual baptism, not a wet one. It's a shame so many cannot see this.

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

Jesus Christ saves, one must be “in Christ” to be saved.

The Bible states we are baptized into Christ. The Bible is quite clear baptism is for:
1. remission of sins
2. receiving the Holy Spirit
3. being placed into Christ.

False teachers have arisen and have tried to separate faith from baptism. False teachers have arisen that teach if you call on the name of Jesus you will be saved. What does the Bible say about “calling on the name of Jesus”?

Acts 22:16 Ananias is addressing Paul, “and now why do you wait? rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, CALLING ON HIS NAME”

Please note this is the same Paul that false teachers claim did not preach baptismal regeneration since he wrote Jesus did not send him to baptize. Clearly Paul was saying anyone can baptize, and everyone who accepted Paul’s message was baptized. Paul was one of the few in world at that time that was qualified to preach the Gospel.

The devil does hate baptismal regeneration.
