From what context does your question arise?

blackpacific (Post #64): The consent comes through the parents and godparents. God honors the family, He honors their desire that their children be saved through the gift of Faith. It is the power of God that does this, through the Sacrament of Baptism which He established, and the sacrament of Matrimony which He established.

imardmd1 (Post #73): Adam and Eve and Cain were baptized?

blackpacific (Post #140): From what context does your question arise?

The context of your answer to Post #55 seems to say that one has faith to exercise only through married parents who get their infant children baptized.

In contrast, the implicit question is, 'What is the requirement to enter The God's Heaven?'

From the whole context of the Bible, salvation depends only on faith alone in the Savior alone, in the Messiah and Coming King.

So, reaching back to the first earthlings saved or not saved, was baptism required to receive the 'gift of faith' so that when it was exercised, Elohim would be required to impart salvation? There is no record that neither Adam, nor Eve, nor Cain were baptized, But were not Adam and Eve saved? And if so, upon what basis?

(Just a wandering thought on what situation water baptism was meant to address. I suspect it is only a ritual of induction for those who have already received the gift of salvation, of Eternal Life and fellowship with The God.)
