Sorry, OO, i should have specified " by water". And, thanks for that.
Yes,as 1 Peter 3:21 goes on to say that it is ,"not the putting away of the filth of the flesh" (as in being dunked in water) that saves us but that it is, "the answer of a good conscience toward God,by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ", which saves us.
And, thanks for that.
