Nonsense. Water Baptism has always been the practice of the Church from the very beginning. Yours is the belief and teaching of a dualist and it's based on the lie of the "great apostasy", which is the cornerstone upon which this "man-made" tradition that you fully ascribe to has been built. Our Holy Tradition is that which was taught by Christ and His Apostles, and handed down throughout the ages by means of yet another "physical" ritual that conveys grace called "laying on of hands". Because of your embedded-ness in the man-made tradition (which is the result of demonic activity in the world) of the radical reformation, you read Scripture through a muddied lenz, which is why you're only taking into account like half of what the real Christ said, while disregarding whatever doesn't agree with your tradition.Jesus Christ cane in the flesh he is God manifest in the flesh he is the Word made flesh and as I have been saying he purchased the gift that came upon all men . The only way the seed (the word of God, the true Light that lightest every man) is given is through the work of Jesus Christ in time on the cross in the flesh.
And no man can merit grace by works of the flesh. To add Water baptism as part of the gospel for salvation is another gospel. And to make grace applicable to any sincere heart only through the means of a priest who wears long robes and is exalted over the body is not true either.
And remember Jesus said ,
John 4 - 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
