The water killed everything. The only ones that were saved were the ones in the ark The ark represents Christ. As Christians we are IN Christ. (the ark) Eternal life is in Christ. In the flood life was in the ark..
Christ is the ark, what is the water it's weird it mentioned at all right?? Why does the Ark tell you to get baptized and included that with Believe? He wouldn't say it if it wasn't supposed to be said.
In the flood life was the ark. Sure. But in the scripture, you are no longer trying to talk about.
[1Pe 3:20-21 ] 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons,
were brought safely through [the] water. 21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
It says through the water. It also says Baptism NOW saves you, I notice you ignored that, along with the part where it references the days of Noah.
[Gen 9:15] 15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh;
and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

The Water is The saving Grace of God. Jesus is The ark we put the faith in. "We are in him when we are in the faith"
[1Pe 3:20-21 KJV] 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Please stop ignoring verse 20 even in the KJV the water is what's Saved. But you keep going with your "interpretations" that obviously float on your own bathwater. Jesus tells you, Believers who are baptized are saved, then says disbelievers are condemned, well yeah obviously baptism isn't going to do anything then.
The like figure of baptism, that saves us, is the death burial and resurrection of Jesus which is what baptism demonstrates.
Saved By grace, God's Grace through Faith in Christ. Christ's resurrection is whats brings us to our salvation which is faith in GOD who saves you through grace. God sent his only begotten son. God's Grace is the water thats saves us through faith in Christ the ark.... We are baptized not as a symbol but because Christ instituted it to be done in the name of The Father The Son and The Holy Spirit. He also said that Whoever so believes in me and is baptized, will be saved.
[Act 22:16] 16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'
I noticed you just posted random Acts Passages as some sort of argument where they still reference calling on the name of the lord. I picked this passage because it describes Baptism as calling on his name. It doesn't say it's a symbol or faith.
Maybe you should try harder?
How so?
I read your "newest" post but it's identical to the argument you already made for the most part, but also with the same poor interpretation It's a lot of your own opinion again. You still use mostly passages that don't talk about baptism, to refute clear scripture where it does. Then you butcher peter. Water is God's Grace. the Ark is Christ whom we put faith in. The water is whats saves, as peter clearly states. He also clearly states Baptism NOW saves you. Jesus also put it as a prerequisite to being saved. You don't do much but read it in a way to refute it. I don't deny the scriptures you're producing, only that they, I just don't think you quite get the importance of how its God's Grace thats saves us, which is the water, which is what Paul says,.
[Rom 6:4-6] 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with [Him] in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be [in the likeness] of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with [Him,] in order that our body of sin might be done away with so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
[Col 2:11-13] 11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; 12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your
flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions
All you said is God raised him from the dead...which symbolized baptism?!?!? what?
In Romans, Paul says This "Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life."
Again in Corinthians " having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead."
Did not say symbol or anything of the sort. He is talking about baptism. and HAVE been and HAVING BEEN. This isn't a Pauline allegory he is telling you what happened and how.
