Speaking In Tongues Does Not Equal Salvation.

Bro. Gary, can you please prove that Jesus was speaking of water baptism in John 3:5?

True belief will be evidenced by actions.

That is indeed the gospel

ummm, where do you get that last step? You may want to tell the Apsotle Paul, because He seems to have had an oversight:

Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound ?
2 God forbid . How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein ?
3 Know ye not , that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed , that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

No one is arguing that true repentance includes/requires action on the part of the repentant, but this thread is about tongues and salvation, a theory not backed up with scripture.
