To: one Lord one faith one baptism
>> baptism is for the remission of sins.<<

Yeah, like a person is wanted for murder so that he can commit murder. That’s the way Catholics look at it right? Besides the word translated “for” actually means more “because of” just like the guy wanted for murder is “because” he committed murder. LOL

>> A “work” is something YOU DO ( giving to the poor, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, helping an old lady across the street, excercising faith, etc ) these are examples of “works” in the Bible.<<

So that’s what Jesus meant here?:

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28-29

again no Scripture is provided that says baptism is not for the remission of sin.
there is a reason Christians have believed this for 2,000 years, the Apostles taught it and the Scriptures record it.

thank you for confirming that “faith” is a work and baptism is not. ( that is if you believe the Scriptures )
