That's Revisionist history

Popular evangelicalism. When I finally studied the position I quickly ran.

Yes immersion was the preferred mode, but it didn't always happen that way. There are many ancient fonts that immersion would be impossible in. In 1 Kings 18:32-38, Elijah built an altar and offered sacrifices upon it, after drenching the altar and the sacrifices with four barrels of water...

The gospel is the good news about Christ, baptism is a means of Grace and it is God's work, not mans.

That's condemning christianity prior to the 15th century, although it was not "absolutely necessary" God isn't bound by the sacraments... and quite the strawman to pit faith against baptism. You didn't even respond to your own question here, you went elsewhere and pretty much said this can't...

Noah and his family were saved from wicked men, an old sinful past. I know exactly what I am talking about.

It actually says the flood water is a picture of baptism which now saves you. The rest of your post is a non sequitur

That's not what Peter says though, you can't make it up and force it into the text. It's most naturally "water" unless the context determines otherwise, which in this passage it doesn't, and actually affirms it since the type is literally the flood water. No, actually he says it doesn't save...

The saving location is the ark (If you want, IN christ) the saving instrument here is water, (baptism)

No, it's talking about a outward ceremony, like how the Jews washed before eating, it's not talking about sin. That's not what the verse says though, it explains how baptism saves, not by an outward act, but through the resurrection.

When you are "talking about suffering for Christ," that's weak, but when you say, "All those whom God has sealed up in Christ have been brought through (immersed in) the flood of suffering and judgment because God saves them in the Ark, which is Christ Jesus," that's quite good. You just need to...

Yes, for those who are agree to it. (Exodus 25:9, 40; Numbers 8:4; Hebrews 9:23). Christ offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 9:23), but then the Perfect High Priest (Hebrews 2:17; 3:1; 4:14; 5:5; 6:20; 7:26; 8:1; 9:11) must bring the blood of that sacrifice to the throne of God...

As long as remain in him this is true. That doesn't prove you can't separate from him and be cut off again.

Thats still a choice, you had the ability to choose between two alternative possibilities of action. If God knows what you are going to choose, your action logically preceded God's knowledge of said choice.

Do you understand what a choice is? Power of choosing between two or options. Do you understand what options are? A possibility How can you have a possibilty that you don't have the ability to preform? You can't even exegete a dictionary.

In the atonement, no sins were laid upon Christ. Christ bore the punishment for sin, which reconciled all of mankind back to the father via the son, such that we could be saved. This is the corporal aspect of the atonement, and it is strictly between the father dishing out his wrath reserved for...

So you don't understand the definition of choice. Okay. The definition of choice assumes ability or its not a choice You can't make a choice with only one option. I can't help your ignorance of definitions anymore, I tried to be clear.

I already said all dictionaries that give you a definition of choice (the power of choosing) and Option (alternative possibility) You do not understand what words mean? Wow, I explained the definition of choice and option numerous times. If you say the gospel is a choice, then both options...

What verse do you want to look at? All definitions do, you just are ignoring the definition. I can't draw you a picture, but let me try again. A choice is: choosing between 2 or more options. an option is an alternative possibility. a possibility is something that MAY or COULD...

you don't have any idea what a choice is. The analogy wasn't about randomness, it was about the number of individual choices a person has to make in order to keep Gods law perfectly. You can't CHOOSE to keep Gods law perfectly, its a total sum of a numerous number of individual choices. Just...
