Water Baptism does NOT supplement the sole-sufficiency of Jesus to save by faith, alone!
Water Baptism does NOT save the soul from death in Hell as water is NOT an element of salvation as water does NOT atone for sin nor does water supplement the sole-sufficiency of Jesus to save by faith, alone!
I’m telling you that water won’t save you. I’m telling you that the only Way to initiate covenant with the Father is by sincere faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, believing that Jesus died to pay your sin-debt for you at Golgotha…that the blood of Jesus atones for sin, NOT water.
Baptism is an “act” of obedience, a work, that “follows” confession, salvation by faith. You can bathe hourly for the rest of your life….attend Church and enter baptismal waters or be sprinkled…but if Jesus is not your Messiah by faith, you’ll perish clean in body but you’ll also perish corrupt in soul/spirit and die in Hell in your sin.
Don’t turn water baptism into a “works” heresy,
Baptism is an act of obedience that every Christian should pursue subsequent salvation but anyone who seeks water baptism to be saved or as an element of salvation commits heresy as they have denied the sole-sufficiency of Messiah to save by faith through His blood atonement; essentially-tragically-in spiritual arrogance or ignorance, those who advocate water baptism as an element of salvation are combining works with faith and this is eternal error.
It is the one who BELIEVES in Jesus as Messiah that is saved. Water baptism that “follows” salvation simply testifies to a lost and perishing World of what has already transpired within the heart of the redeemed by grace through faith.
