Pardon me for omitting the cite. Acts 2:38. Please tell me if you find any reference to amniotic fluid.

In John chapter 3 Jesus refers to water as in the physical birth of man. I never said anything along the lines that baptism refers to amniotic fluid. You are confusing topics.

In Acts, I agree with with Peter that salvation comes from repentance. I also believe that after repentance you should be baptised, but I don't agree that baptism is required for salvation. If it was why did Paul say that he was happy that he didn't baptize?

1Cor 1:14-17 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
