This video has the most reasonable and contextual meaning of that verse
Thanks God 🙏
Wow! This video ignores Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:27 and Romans 6:3 which connect to Romans 8:1
Baptism does save in three different ways: A. The way Peter writes about it in this passage. The Ark did not only physically save Noah and his family but the waters of the flood washed away all the sin in the world, leaving a new start in God's grace. Baptism then not only physically washes away the body but also washes away all the sin committed prior to the baptism. By washing away the sin and granting the baptized a new start in God's grace, one's conscience is clear. In Titus, Paul wrote "because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us through Jesus Christ our savior, so that we might be justified by his grace." The bath of rebirth is a means by which God offers his grace. in Acts 2, Peter told believers "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit." He did not say repent, receive the Holy Spirit then be baptized. Baptism preceded the forgiveness and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
B: Baptism is entry into the covenant. In Col 2, baptism replaced circumcision. In Genesis, circumcision was the sign of the covenant between Abraham and God. It is a marker that you are set aside for God. God directed male infants to be circumcised at 8 days old. Just as circumcision was a physical marker a child is set aside by God, baptism is a spiritual marker that you are set aside for God, even before the assent of faith. That is why infants can and should be baptized. It is a marker of entry into the covenant and the parents' desire to raise the child in the Covenant.
C. Baptism allows us to see and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In John 3, Jesus tells Nicodemus he must be born again. When asked for clarification, Jesus tells him that to be born again is to be born of water and spirit. In his First Apology, Chapter 61 (151AD) Justin Martyr wrote "Then they [converts] are brought by us where there is water, and are regenerated in the same manner in which we were ourselves regenerated. For, in the name of God, the Father and Lord of the universe, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and of the Holy Spirit, they then receive the washing with water. For Christ also said, "Unless you be born again, you shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven."" Before the born-again movement of the 20th century, to be born again meant baptism. The phrase "born again" actually only ever appears in the New Testament three times. Once when Jesus is talking to Nicodemus and twice used by Peter in the same letter that he writes about baptism. Paul paraphrased born again as rebirth in his letter to Titus. But, as mentioned above, rebirth specifically referred to water baptism.
Can unbaptized people be saved? Yes. But it is not the method prescribed by Jesus or the Apostles. It is by exception. It does not change the rule but is just that, an exception to the rule. Such exception are by the grace of God for we are the ones bound by the plan of salvation, not God.
Notice also that Naaman's flesh was "regenerated" - it became like that of a young boy - by dipping in the Jordan's water at the instruction of the man of God. I think this was mentioned by Irenaeus. While these Fathers may not be "inspired" it is hard to imagine that they got something so important so wrong so quickly after John departs (for Justin it was less than 60 years after John) and that under persecution.
When Jesus says you must be 'born again' to Nicodemus he is referring to the spiritual rebirth that happens when someone accepts Christ. Nicodemus misunderstands as he only knows of natural birth and can't understand how that can be repeated. So Jesus explains that everyone needs to be born twice, once naturally through water, relating to the amniotic fluid when a womans water breaks, and the other time is the spiritual birth in accepting Christ, hence born again.
Every apostle immediately baptized all confessing believers, even if in the middle of the night (Acts 16:33). Even Paul immediately is baptized after his repentance..."what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name" (Acts22:16).
If it was just a 'nice demonstration' it would not be Universal and urgent... The Bible repeats it often: "“He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned” (Mark 16:16).
The one instance used to justify salvation without baptism is the thief on the cross, who for all we know was a baptized believer, no info on his background is given... Also, Jesus says he would 'be with him today.' Where was it that Jesus went that day? He went to Hades/Seoul and did not go to Heaven (Acts 2:31/John20:17-18)
Jesús said the thief on the cross would be with Him today in paradise. You conveniently left out the rest of the verse. Paradise is also mentioned in Rev and very clearly means to be with God, whether that is the third heaven (as Paul declares is what exists for believers now) or the new heaven and new earth after this age has ended.
He said “today you will be with me IN PARADISE.”
That’s not the only instance…. Have you read Acts 10?
1 Corinthians 12:12-13:13
New King James Version
Unity and Diversity in One Body
12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body
This video is nicely made, yes, but poorly argued.
I do give credit to the creator for trying to make a contextual argument instead of just denying the plain words of Scripture out of hand as many seem to want to do.
But right off the bat, a strawman is set up when it says that "baptism now saves you" can't mean that "baptism is a mandatory right of passage to get you into heaven." As if that is a fair representation of the teaching of those who believe in baptismal regeneration or anyone who takes these words of Holy Scripture in a straightforward way.
As others have noted, it ignores multiple other passages that connect faith, forgiveness, and the giving of the Spirit to baptism.
And we're supposed to believe that Peter's references to the global judgment upon sin in the flood and to the resurrection of Jesus and to a good standing before God that occurs through Jesus' resurrection are tied to baptism only in the sense that people are "saved" from ridicule? That seems to be quite the stretch.
Worse, the whole video smacks of the standard human tendency to make it all about us. It's our pledge and our public vow and our commitment to Christ that saves us from shame and fear? Baptism is supposedly a powerful reminder that I made a pledge?
No thanks. You can have your self-center baptism. I'll take a baptism rooted in the promises of God to me. Of the good conscience that comes not from my vows and actions but through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A baptism that truly saves, not by the external washing, but by connecting me to my Savior and His death and resurrection by the power of God's promise in which I can trust completely.

Man, this makes a lot of sense, thanks
This video went from "baptism now saves you" means it's just a nice ceremony to "also it proves at least one of the reformation solas" in a heartbeat haha. "Context" teaches us that the verse does NOT mean what it says, but it DOES mean what it doesn't say.
1 Peter 3:21 "....baptism, which now saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." Rom 6 and Col 2:12 say that baptism "immerses" you into Jesus' resurrection which is what Peter is referring to here in 1 Peter 3:21. And to be "raised with Christ" is another way of saying "regenerated." A regenerated person is going to live a righteous life which is attended by a good conscience as Peter mentions here and which will "testify" to God in the final judgement (Rom 2:13-16). Further, baptism washes away past sins (Acts 2:38, 22:16) which also provides for a clean conscience. So we have complete provision for our conscience - both past sins committed as well as for the future by living an obedient life going forward. Paul's emphasis is on how baptism saves a person from the power of sin while Peter here is focused on how baptism "births" a righteous person, which Jesus' resurrection made possible, which God will deliver into His eternal kingdom just like Jesus was admitted to God's presence after His resurrection because He was righteous.

Clearly literal baptism does save
Amen. It’s a shame that people really believe the ridiculous lie that baptism doesn’t save us.
@@kedricmanson9873because it doesn’t. If you think it does then you do not know God.
@@3n1fss no amount of context in 1 Peter 3 can reverse the idea that is clearly taught in verse 21. That idea that is clearly taught is that baptism saves you. Just as how faith is mandatory because it saves you, so is baptism because it saves you. Mark 16:16 also says baptism saves you.
@@3n1fss but why is it so literal and clear in 1 Peter 3:21?
So interesting that people can believe the Word of the Gospel have their hearts changed and then be Baptized in the Holy Spirit without being first baptized in water. Peter said “can we forbid water baptism to those who have received “the same” gift as US at the beginning? (Acts 10:47). This is proof that water baptism is NOT regeneration nor is it justification or salvation. It is the First COMMAND that we keep as “believers”.
“And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
Acts 8:36-37
Only after he believed and made confession (See Romans 10:9-10)
was he baptized.
Salvation is submission to a King. Our baptism has everything to do with a public testimony of what has happened in our heart. Crucifixion, Burial and Resurrection. Why religious people want to complicate such a simple principle I have no idea. Without repentance and faith baptism makes you only a wet sinner.
Acts 10 is only proof that God can do things the way He wants. He has, however, given a fool-proof process for us to follow for all. There is much truth in your other words, but you are making an unwarranted assumption in the first place - you don't have complete knowledge of God's mind and other circumstances in this particular instance. For instance, notice how God chose a man who was considered righteous to begin with and not some random Gentile sinner - e.g. a temple that was sufficiently clean to be HS's dwelling - prior to baptism. This is not true of everyone. Repentance and baptism are a necessary preparation for the HS's dwelling for many people - because R&B actually do something.
What does it mean to be "quickened" by the Spirit in the verse below? Why do many ignore the Spirit in this verse?
1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
A person must be baptized to be saved, but it has nothing to do with water. The proof is found below.
Eating Kosher is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Circumcision of male children is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Trimming your beard according to the Law of Moses is not unbiblical, but it is not required under the New Covenant. Water baptisms were a part of the Old Covenant, but they are not required under the New Covenant. The proof is found below. John baptized with water. Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. Which one is related to salvation, based on Romans 8:9?
.
Heb. 9:10 (YLT) only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances-till the time of reformation imposed upon them . (Old Covenant ------> New Covenant)
.
Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
(What is the one baptism of our faith here, based on Eph. 1:12-13, and 1 Cor. 12:13?)
.
Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1Co 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
.
Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
.
Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
.
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(See Mark 1:8.)

God bless you!
Jesus said to the man on the cross next to him "today you will be with me in paradise". (Luke Chapter 23 Verse 43). Had this man been water baptized???
Water baptism happens because someone has been saved. Water baptism doesn't save.
The recent coronation happened because Charles is now the King. The coronation didn't make Charles the King. Charles became the King when his mother - Queen Elizabeth the Second - died.
A coronation for William or George would be nonsense as neither of them are King.
I think the thief on the cross was baptized. I have no basis for that claim but that claim is just as scriptural as the claim he was unbaptized that is to say, he may have been baptized or he may not have. The scripture is silent on his baptismal status. Lets assume he is not baptized. This exception is just that, an exception to the rule to be baptized. He would have akin to a deathbed conversion. Any actions he could have taken after conversion were moot but had he survived, baptism would have been expected of him.
@@WC3isBetterThanReforged The purpose of baptism is 1) to set the repentant free from the power of sin, and 2) to birth a new, righteous, person. Since the thief's death was imminent it is clear that further sinning was not an issue for him - so your last statement makes sense. The second purpose of baptism was not possible for the thief because Jesus hadn't resurrected by that time. I think his faith and repentance sufficiently explains Jesus' answer to him.
It's for people in Daniels 70th week. You can no longer be saved solely by faith through grace. You have to get baptized like before the cross. Grace is gone because the rapture has happened then so they missed the boat but obvious what happened. So they must plea to God and must stand to the end or death which will be happening a lot as well.
No. This is hyper-dispensational teaching. Salvation has always been by faith without works.
@@1013ministries Right?!? What a heretical doctrine to teach salvation by works. Zero people would ever and could ever be saved by their own works. Always has been and always will be the work done on the cross. From the foundation of the earth the Lamb was slain for our sin. OT looked forward and we look back.
@@John14Verse6 I have no idea about the original comment above, and agree that our own efforts cannot save us (from the power of sin), but our works in repentance and baptism are required and without them God will not deliver us from slavery to sin - which is a prerequisite to inheriting eternal life. This is the lesson of the Exodus. We need a supernatural work to transform our nature - which we cannot do - but God does that in our baptism (Col 2:11,12). So it is possible for our "work/effort" to be required without our work being salvific in itself.
the Bible does not said "brought safely " what it does say is: "souls were saved in the water." half the truth is a lie
