The Apostle Paul was not sent to baptize with water: "For Christ sent me NOT TO BAPTIZE but to preach the gospel..." (I Cor. 1:17).

So did you just miss verses 14-16?

I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.)

***I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,***

Some here insist baptism saves. Is Paul saying that he thanks God he saved none except Crispus and Gaius?
