If not you haven't supplied any scripture supporting you MUST be water baptized to be saved!!
However
We see the transition starting with John the baptist as the for runner.
Matthew 3:8-11.
John's baptism was the baptism of repentance. what was it they needed to turn from? Judaism!!
How did he baptize? With water!
Was it for salvation? No he was preparing the way for salvation. Matthew3:9. Suggest their confidence was in being children of Abraham and the seal of circumcision.
Verse 10 " The axe is laid at the root!!
There goes the degenerate vine, on comes the true vine or genuine vine. One Jews and Gentiles will be joined to. now we see a transition taken place. They were Identified with Judaism by circumcision, now they are to be Identified to Christ by baptism. And to express there belief by water baptism as the Jews did by circumcision.
Then comes Jesus to be baptized by John. For salvation? YES, OURS!!
He was to fulfill all righteousness!
He was Identifying with all who would come to him. He was going to bare our sins on the cross.
GiGi. There has never been a tread where I said I believe a Christian shouldn't be baptized.
I have never asserted that baptism was salvific either. I have consistently stated that it is an obedience to a command of Christ following conversion. Baptism is only for a regenerated believing person.
You can look at my posts of the past few weeks on this topic to find the Scripture references I cited.
And, your interpretation of the "transitional" nature of water baptism is just that, an interpretation, as it is not a doctrine that is expressly stated or taught by the apostles (and I will add, it never was).
Peace be to you today.
My laptop is going on the fritz. The screen is going out. So, if I am not on line here for a while, it is because I either sent my laptop in to be repaired, the one I have is dead, and/or we are shopping for a new one. Bummer.
So, just thought I'd let folks know so that no one will think I am ignoring anyone's post or upset or have left the fellowship of this site. I will continue to post until my computer does not allow me to anymore. I guess I may be on "sabbatical" when that comes. God will lead me in how I spend my time then. God Bless
Again you are arguing the wrong narrative.

I'VE SAID IT WASN'T FOR SALVATION.
