1 PETER 3:21

Display the text.

Any "explanation" of this passage which asserts that we ARE NOT saved by baptism is NOT an explanation; it is a contradiction.

From WHAT does baptism save???

• NOT from sickness or physical infirmity -

• NOT from sorrow, grief, and death -

• NOT from persecution and evil treatment -

It is the final act of obedience in God's plan to save the sinner from the guilt of sin (see also Mark 16:15-16).

Which of the following is biblical???

• Baptism doth also NOT save us -

• Baptism doth also NOW save us -
