1 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | srprimeaux | 75483 | ||
"Baptism doth also now save us" does not mean that water baptism is essential to salvation. Since it cannot wash away the "filth of the flesh," baptism shows the "answer of a good conscience toward God." In other words, baptism is a conscious testimony to one's faith in the "resurrection of Jesus Christ" because it symbolizes our resurrection with Him. 1 Peter 3:21. Jesus is the Savior, not Baptism :) In Christ, SRP |

2 | How Does Baptism Save? | 1 Pet 3:21 | disciplerami | 78348 | ||
Dear SRP, 'Filth of the flesh' is contrasted 'a good conscience.' He is pointing out that a cleansed conscience comes from baptism does. Baptism saves because--when it is done right, in faith, Col 2:12--God cleanses the conscience through the death of Christ. 'Filth of the flesh' is simply pointing out that it's not for cleansing dirt and grime from the body. Baptism isn't the Savior, Jesus is :) But Peter says 'Baptism Saves You.' Disciplerami |
