1. Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, "See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?" (Acts 8:36 NKJV) Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (1 Peter 3:21 RSV)

2. Exodus 14:21-31

3. 2 Kings 5:14-17

4. John 9:1-7

5. Genesis 6-7; 1 Peter 3:20

6.  who formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (1 Peter 3:20- 21 RSV)

7.  Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:3-4 RSV)

8. buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. (Colossians 2:12 NKJV)

9.  Words of Jesus. (John 3:1-5; Mark 16:16)  Christ shed His blood for the remission of sins and one is baptized for the same purpose. (Matt. 26:28; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Romans 6:3)  In Acts, no one received remission of sins prior to baptism. (Acts 2:38; 8:35-39; 10:47,48; Acts 22:16)  All Spiritual Blessings are in Christ. (Eph. 1:3; Gal. 3:27)  1 Peter 3:18-22

10.  By Grace. (Eph. 2:5)  By Faith. (Heb. 11:6; Eph. 2:8)  By Repentance. (Acts 11:18)  By the Blood of Christ. (Matt. 26:28;Rom. 5:9)  By Christ’s Death. (Rom. 5:10)  By Christ’s Life. (Rom. 5:10)  By Confession and Belief. (Rom. 10:10; Mark 16:16)  By Baptism. (1 Peter 3:21; Mark 16:16) These do not contradict one another but complement one another. Each of them in proper perspective has something to do with one’s deliverance from sin.
