You're trying to be saved by works. Only the Blood of the Lamb can wash away sins.

So you must think James 2:14-26 and Hebrews 11 are garbage too?

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

So tell us, how does a person get saved if he can't be baptized?

That's highly unlikely. However in the event that some make a death bed confession their desire to be baptized would suffice as the greater Church has outlined. The normative way though is as St. Peter says "repent and be baptized"

You still didn't answer the question.

No I didn't. This is funny now. It's like you pull things out of context on purpose to get a rise out of people.

This is what I said in that specific post you quoted:




To spell it out for you, I basically said baptism IS necessary however I am not the one saying it, scripture is. That is why I said "I am not saying that", because scripture is.
Now you're saying anyone who isn't baptized is going to Hell.

So water baptism is not required for Christian salvation. Glad you agree.
