WATER BAPTISM ALONE DOES DONT SAVE YOU,MANY PEOPLE SAY ,I AM A CHRISTIAN, I WAS BAPTIZE WHEN I WAS A BABY,OR WHEN I WAS A CHILD!! SALVATION IS DELEVELOPED BY FAITH AND YOUR BELIEF! CONFESSING WITH YOUR MOUTH AND BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART!! In the New Testament baptism is ALWAYS practiced AFTER saving faith in Christ. Baptism is not the means of salvation; it is faith in the Gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 1:14-18; Romans 10:13-17). The Roman Catholic Church teaches baptismal regeneration of infants, a practice never found in Scripture. The only possible hint of infant baptism in the Bible that the Roman Catholic Church can point to is that the whole household of the Philippian jailer was baptized in Acts 16:33. However, the context nowhere mentions infants. Acts 16:31 declares that salvation is by faith. Paul spoke to all of the household in verse 32, and the whole household believed (verse 34). This passage only supports the baptism of those who have already believed, not of infants.
