    Actually most Baptists are One Point Calvinist at least; that is the Eternal Security of the Believer!

    Were the 8 souls literally saved by water? no they weren't they were saved by the Ark which is a picture of Christ. so it wasn't that they were saved from judgement, the Water separated them from the wickedness of the world at the time of Noah in the same way Baptism is the first step of obedience and first step we take in sanctification to be used by God, so when we are baptized we are making a declaration not to live our lives in habitual sin anymore, so in this way, Baptism separates (saves) us from the wickedness of this world in the same way the water separated(saved) Noah and his family from the wickedness of the world.

    It even says that it's not even the putting away of the filth of the flesh (water baptism) but the answer of a good conscience toward God ( Step of obedience toward God) How can you have a good conscience if your sins have not yet been forgiven?

    Noah& family were only figuratively "saved by water" (actually saved by God). See the words "like figure" in 21 that applies to believer's baptism?

    No, I don't think so. You are saying in effect, "Take out the words "and has been baptized" and you don't change the meaning. In other words, this:

    means the same thing as this:

    Do you really think so? And if it does mean the same, why would our Lord include these words that have had the effect of confusing countless thousands of people over two millennia?
