Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized

 

  Water Be-livers Baptism

Acts 10:47 - Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

1 Peter 3:21 Context

"18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him."

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved"

WHAT DOES BAPTISM SIGNIFY?

"According to the Bible, baptism is fundamentally a physical sign of a spiritual reality, and as such functions as an identity marker to identify those who are members of the New Covenant community, that is Christ's elect people called the church.

The spiritual reality that baptism pictures is of an inward cleansing work of the Holy Spirit in the regeneration and conversion of God's elect people. As Peter explains, baptism is not merely some religious formality that removes outward dirt; no baptism for the believer reminds us that Jesus has removed our the guilt we had accrued through our sin. (1 Peter 3:21)

Baptism reminds us that of the inward cleansing and regenerating work of the Holy Spirit in conversion (Titus 3:4-7). Paul also writes in Colossians 2:11-13 that baptism is the physical representation of the spiritual circumcision of our hearts. (cf. Ezekiel 36:26-27)

The clearest picture of what baptism signifies is found in Romans 6, wherein Paul uses baptism to symbolize the believer's death and burial with Christ as their representative head, and of the believer's spiritual resurrection with Him from the symbolic grave."

When Does Salvation Start? Thought this may be interesting.

"I would first answer by making the question more precise, because the way I’d pose the question is “Are we justified before, in, or after baptism? Are we united to Christ? Do we become one with Christ, and does God become one hundred percent for us before, in, or after baptism?” Because in the New Testament, the word saved is used for what happens before, in, and after baptism.

Ephesians 2:8: We “have been saved.”1 Corinthians 1:18: We “are being saved. “Romans: “Salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.”

Being saved happened before, is happening now, and will happen finally in the future. The word salvation in the New Testament is broad and includes pieces of salvation. But what’s really being asked is “When did it all start? When was the first moment of union with Christ — the moment of justification, which is not a process like sanctification is, but is decisive?”

“If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). "When did that start? At what point does God count us a child — not a child of wrath, which we all are by nature (Ephesians 2:3), but a child of God, so that from that point on, he is one hundred percent for us, with no wrath? When did that happen? What was the decisive means that brought it about, that united us to Christ that justified us? That’s my question. I think that’s really what they’re asking. I mean, they’re right to be concerned about it. There are texts that are puzzling."
