But, what would YOU say?

They would NEVER answer what Peter answered.

What a man believes, he speaks. One's words are the fruit of what one believes.

If two men believe the same, their words will be in agreement.

Those whose words are not in agreement with the apostles, do not believe the same as the apostles.

Thus, they have a different belief system, ie a different religion, than the apostles.

Some people's religion leads them to say 'baptism doesn't save anybody'. Peter's religion led him to say 'baptism doth also now save us'.

Some people's religion leads them to say 'baptism doesn't wash away sins'. Brother Ananias' religion led him to say 'Arise, and be baptised, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

Some people's religion leads them to say 'he that believes and is not baptised shall be saved', but Jesus' religion led him to say 'he that believes and is baptised shall be saved'.

Lots of different religions floating around.

Only one is True.
