-—…1 Peter 3: 20who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. 21Corresponding to that,baptism now saves you -(as the ark saved the Jews)- not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience— through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,-—

Where did you get that perverted version of scripture???

1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

So Protestants believe this DOESN’T mean that baptism now saves us through the resurrection of Christ?

Not water baptism...The baptism that now saves is a spiritual act of God which results from a good conscience toward God, Not by getting wet...A Spiritual baptism...With the Holy Ghost...No water involved...

Since I’m already in the book of Ephesians with editor-surveyor, I thought I would give the Scripture regarding the baptism, the ONE baptism that the Holy Spirit performs on us, the body of Christ, in this age of grace: Eph. 4:5. ONE baptism, not two. Whereby the Holy Spirit baptizes us INTO the body of Christ. Spiritual, not water.
