Jesus associated salvation with baptism in Mark 16:16. Peter associated it in 1 Peter 3. One steppers will not make any such association. Not even after being HOUNDED to do so.

I refuse to "realize" that repentance is a work. It is a verb, but it is not a "work" in any sense that the word "works" is used and applied in New Testament theology. "Shockingly," I was also the one who said to you, "Baptism saves us by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
You resist Biblical terminology with your adamant neo-logisms and you have completely and repeatedly mischaracterized your opponents in this debate.

N.O.W. We will refrain from future discussion with one another on issues, but you cannot get away with fabricating things.

It's probably none of my business, but that is certainly NOT the way to "close things properly" with a Brother.

And I told you several times I was speaking of passive aggression in a tongue-in-cheek deal, but you obviously refuse to recall that, and bring it up again and again. lol. OKAY. TONGUE IN CHEEK. Hello?

Your muddled rant here is quite puzzling to me since the last exchange we had ended with you saying:

Anyway, I agree with you.

Well, now that's better. I hope we can feel good about ourselves as we toil on together upon this mortal coil of woe, mutual sorrow and grief.
