And here is an interesting thing, you quoted that Paul was commanded to call upon the name of the Lord in HIS OWN baptism. I did that. I felt cleansed and justified even though the preacher said FSHG. But I myself did call on the name of Jesus! And the next preacher told me I had to get rebaptized because the preacher did the wrong thing. That was legalism.

By your convictions and not by the word of God?
So essentially we can thumb our nose at God's word?
That's not faith. Abraham believed and YES it was credited to him for righteousness...and Abraham obeyed God.
In other words when it comes to baptizing he would have done it however God says to do it and not any way that fancied him.
All the great "faith" people of the bible obeyed what was commanded. That's not legalism. That's faith. Noah had faith and he followed God's instructions.
