1 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | srprimeaux | 75473 | ||
Water baptism saves us in the sense that it is an obedient expression of our repentance and faith in Christ and of our commitment to come out of the world. It is our confession and pledge that we belong to Christ and have died and risen with Him (Rom. 6:3-5; Gal. 3:27; Col. 2:12; Acts 2:38-39). Note the comparison with the flood in 1 Peter 3:20: just as Noah's observing God's instructions regarding the flood was a testimony to his faith before the flood, so going through the water of baptism is a testimony to our faith that brought salvation through Christ before we were baptized.

2 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | disciplerami | 78347 | ||
Greetings, Only one problem I see with your post. You insist that salvation came before the waters of baptism. However, there is a type/antitype statment being made here. Flood is the type/Baptism is the Antitype Noah saved through water/Baptism saves you Noah wasn't saved before he went through the water, he was brought safely through the water. AND CORRESPONDING TO THAT [AND THE ANTITYPE OF THAT WATER] IS BAPTISM WHICH NOW SAVES YOU...THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. We are not saved before baptism. We are saved by God's grace at baptism. Good day. |
