It's not consistent with my own personal experience with God.
It's not consistent with the experience of millions of Christians who come to faith in Christ and have a genuine spiritual transformation.
On the other hand, label it whatever you want, what I believe and teach is consistent with all of the above.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (
Mark 16:15-18)
The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: (
1 Peter 3:21)
This is not about interpretation, but about biblical truth. The truth is here, in these verses. Many can bring interpretations and their ideas, but it comes down to what scriptures says, what Jesus said and commanded. Without the waters of baptism, we are not saved, period.
