Oh and: “Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you” — 1 Pt 3:21, NASB. A Bible verse your essay does not seem to address. :-0

That's typical. Those who deny the role of baptism cite verses that don't discuss the role of baptism. They want you to take their word concerning the role of baptism, rather than read it for yourself in the Scriptures.

In the passage you cited, Peter shuts their mouths. All they can do is pretend not to understand him, and try to confuse those they're leading astray.

Their website even has this to say about Paul's description of the action of baptism in Romans 6: "The baptism Paul is talking about in Romans 6 is REAL BAPTISM not RITUAL BAPTISM." Can you believe that?!

They won't preach the gospel to the lost. If they did, the hearers would have a choice to be either saved or damned (Mark 16:15-16). Instead, all who follow the false teaching of this so-called "Bible Church" are damned.

These false teachers are like those Jesus rebuked:

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves." - Matthew 23:15

Strange. Just WHO got wet in that Baptism? Jonah and his family were nice and dry while the water got those outside the Ark wet.
the ARK was a representation of Christ, We are in Christ as Jonah was in the Ark.
