It is on the Day of Pentecost that we see the plan of Salvation revealed. If some one is going to be saved they are going to repent, get baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost.
Peter says that baptism saves. There are things that happen in the spirit when we are baptized, but you MUST do the physical act for those things to happen.
To the 1 stepper baptism is just a religious traditon and how we do things, but in the Word of God it was a matter of salvation. Come on guys line up with the Bible again if your etenity is important to ya.

How does "baptism save us?" Is the water magical? Does the preacher's incantation dispell the hordes of demons trying to drag that soul into hades?
What is it about baptism that saves us? I thought that Peter spelled it right out in
1 Peter 3:21, but you didn't agree. So what does baptism do that "saves" us?
