First, I never said "nothing is ambiguous", rather I pointed to what Simon Peter wrote about baptism under inspiration as being clear. Second, much of the debate in history regarding the Scriptures is just as easily chalked up to flesh and ignorance. I wouldn't go alleging that the Scriptures aren't written in a clear, direct, ready to understand, so easy a child can receive them and be saved kind of way.

The birth of the Spirit is essential to salvation (John 3.5). I'll ask you what I asked Esaias: Do you believe that the birth of the Spirit occurs automatically in baptism and is not accompanied with the sign of tongues?

I don't see the word "salvation" in
John 3:5. Do you? I also don't see the phrase "the sign of tongues" there, either. Do you?
