In a real version of the Bible it sauys "Baptism now saves you"

And I agree with that 100 percent...However, there is no water in THAT baptism...

Baptism does not mean water and water does not mean baptism...Look it up if you don't believe me...

And yet the Bible tells us about the Ethiopian to whom Philip explained Isaiah.

The Ethiopian saays something like “There is some water, why can’t I be baptized right now.”

So in the book of Acts water was used.

Thank you for giving me another opportunity to prove you wrong and the Catholic Church correct.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/baptize?s=t

bap·tize   /bæpˈtaɪz, ˈbæptaɪz/ Show Spelled [bap-tahyz, bap-tahyz] Show IPA verb, bap·tized, bap·tiz·ing. verb (used with object)

1. to immerse in water or sprinkle or pour water on in the Christian rite of baptism: They baptized the new baby.

2. to cleanse spiritually; initiate or dedicate by purifying.

3. to give a name to at baptism; christen. verb (used without object)

4. to administer baptism.

Origin: 1250–1300; Middle English < Late Latin baptizāre < Greek baptízein to immerse ( bápt ( ein ) to bathe + -izein -ize)

If you want to take it a step further it means to "Whelm" which means to fully wet.

Piece of really sound advice here, when a Catholic tells you something that you disagree with, just assume that you don't have a clue and change your opinion to match their facts.
