John 5:24, Romans 3:28, Eph 2:8-9 do not say faith "alone". In fact the phrase faith alone is found nowhere in scripture(except in James, but that doesn't help your view). 'Corresponding to that' refers to 'safely'? that is a real stretch. Water Baptism is how you make the pledge, and in making that pledge you will receive the Holy Spirit. Again baptism is a spiritual act of faith, in baptism God is the one who is doing the work, saving and cleansing you. Yes, His death does save us, but you have to be put "into Christ" to connect his saving shed blood. Baptism puts us "in Christ", Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:26-27, if done as an act of faith and obedience through a repentant heart. |

I am saved by faith. Period. Does baptism save? NO ... and if you read the Greek in 1 Peter 3:18-22 you will see I am correct. |

One is saved by God's Grace and if I may Illustrate: You are on a sinking ship (sin).And you spot a life raft (Grace). So, you jump (faith) into the life raft. Are you saved because you jumped or because there was a life raft? Because, there was a life raft. You jumped out of the need. It is the same with the doctrine of Baptisms. Would you be saved if you didn't jump? The merit is not in the jumping. | ||||||

I have no idea what that illustration meant, I'm not trying to be funny, it just doesn't make sense. I'll try to interject a thought and see if it applies. How about by faith you get baptized into Christ(jump into the raft). There now that makes sense. | ||||||

Close, enought. Long as you know the difference between Grace and Faith. Which you seem to know. I put faith in with baptism on the jump. Maybe that helps. | ||||||
