Read post 41. And if you still deny baptism is a requirement unto salvation, you are a LIAR.

Baptism is not necessary for salvation. It is the initiatory sign and seal into the covenant of grace. As circumcision referred to the cutting away of sin and to a change of heart (Deut. 10:16, 30:6, Jer. 4:4, 9:25, 26, Ezk.44:7, 9), baptism refers to the washing away of sin (Acts 2:38, 1 Pet. 3:21, Tit. 3:5) and to spiritual renewal (Rom. 6:4, Col. 2:11-12). The circumcision of the heart is signified by the circumcision of the flesh, that is, baptism (Col. 2:11-12).
