A reference to Noah. Yet who was it that got wet then? Noah was in the ark, a sinful world outside the ark and got wet.

And remember, Paul often mentioned baptism as being baptized INTO CHRIST! Crucified with Christ on the Cross. yet he was not sent to baptize in water by his own statement in Corinthians. If baptism in water is what saves you why was St Paul not sent to baptize? Peter was an apostle to the Jews. Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles. Each had a different commission from God.

The unbelieving Jews still have their Mikvehs yet does it save them?
Mikveh

Mikveh or mikvah is a bath used for the purpose of ritual immersion in Judaism to achieve ritual purity. In Orthodox Judaism, these regulations are steadfastly adhered to; consequently, the mikveh is central to an Orthodox Jewish community. Wikipedia

I agree with you.

The whole issue is like beating a dead horse.

Christ is never going to deny His Salvation to somebody who didn’t get baptized. He even says so Himself for all those who wish to come to Him (John 6:37-39) - the modern day Judaizers who love to put pridefully pat themselves on the back to prove “how good” they are in following Him lack massive spiritual maturity on the issue.

Paul even scoffs at the idea to baptize folks (1 Corinthians 1:17).

Anyways...
Your posts are highly appreciated on this matter! It needs to be stated & restated.
