Hence the act of baptism is not what saves you. The faith/belief in Christ is what saves you. Then, in obedience to His command, we get baptized when possible.

You are correct sir. I was baptized in the GI swimming pool at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam. I thought it was a strange place for that to happen, but it was hot that day, so I was more than willing to do it. 😂 The point is, however, that I was saved 6 months before that.

You were Baptized as an infant in the Catholic church....that pretty much took care of the whole Baptism requirement....and it was a lot more than 6 months earlier.
