Don McClainW. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Don McClainW. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, Peter 3:21-22 (NASB77) 21 And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you —not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience — through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

Don McClainW. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, Arndt & Gingrich. Baptism is “an appeal to God for a clear conscience” (Greek Lexicon, p. 285). Kittel’s Theological Dictionary (Abridged), the rendition is this: “Baptism does not confer physical cleansing but saves as a request for forgiveness...” (p. 262).

Don McClainW. 65th St church of Christ / June 17, Johnson, Barton W.... "the interrogation of a good conscience." "Inquiry" would be still better. The soul seeking the forgiveness of sins "inquires" What shall I do to remove the sense of unforgiven sins and make my conscience void of offense? The answer is "Repent and be baptized," etc. See Acts 2:38. He who obeys the word of the Lord has the "inquiry" answered in baptism. "Commentary on 1 Peter 3". "People's New Testament".
