One at a time pleaseYou added that. Sorry, try again.
Yup, In this parallelism water is Spirit.
There are several instances in the bible where people have been saved prior to baptism.
I don't disagree. Problem for you is you don't seem to believe in Jesus and what He did in your place.
You are doing what Gal 5:4 says...you are trying to justify yourself by works....and in doing so you have cut yourself off from salvation.
You need repent and understand you're a sinner and Jesus paid 100% FOR YOUR SINS. Or remain in your sin and face the judgement.
Your problem is...and let me repeat...YOUR PROBLEM IS you sin everyday...which means according to your means of salvation...you have none.
For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”
You are looking towards yourself for salvation...and therefor don't have salvation.
Once again you added to the bible by adding future salvation...that's a no-no.
OK, you've proven you don't know the way to salvation..and you've shown you don't really want to know the truth...It's the Holy Spirits time to work on your heart.
You added that. Sorry, try again.Jn 3:16 don’t help you
You must remain until death in a state of believing! He who believes (present tense)
