Frenz, being baptized or not baptized does not stop us from going to heaven. Christ told the thief on the cross that he would be in heaven with Christ and that thief was not baptized! Better get studying that in details!
Timothy Wayne George's comment on 8/10/2012, 9:33am...
Praise God for Sara, obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. She is an example of the wife with a meek, and quiet spirit. Husbands are to dwell with their wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto them as the weaker vessel, and as joint heirs of the grace of life, so that our prayers will not be hindered. We were called to inherit a blessing. We must refrain our tongue from speaking evil, and not render railing for railing, instead blessing. Always be ready to give an answer to those who question us of the hope that is in us, by sanctifying the Lord God in our hearts. Who can harm us, if we be followers of that which is good? Christ hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. It is the will of God that we should suffer for well doing, and not as evildoers. Christ is now seated at the right hand of God in heaven, where angels and authorities and powers are subject unto Him. One day we will be with Him. So let us run with patience this race that is set before us, looking unto to Jesus, the author, and finisher of our most holy faith.

"Likewise ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
- King James Version (1611) - Compare to scan of original 1 Peter chapter 3" Husbands should treat wife as if he is holder,handling or taken care of,or in-charge of a delicate substance in all matter. Since, they both have inheritance with the father.To correct the saying of some people that "women are weaker vessels " today the bible makes it clear that women should be handled as a delicate object that must not break or fall of that, the husband will have to give account of to the heavenly father.

Peter Chapter 3 verse 21...is were the salvation begin. John the Baptist,the son of Zacharias from the division of Abejah, the eight of the 24 division of Aaron's son's. John the Baptist is a grandson of Aaron the High Priest of the testament. laying hands on sacrificial animal to pass the sin of Israel was sacrificial ordinance of God to Aaron.
John the Baptist a grandson of High Priest Aaron pass all the sin of the world by baptizing Jesus in the Jordan River..and John testified the next day. lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world"..John the Baptist pass the sin of the world to Jesus. And this is what water means in gospel of water and spirit.

1 Peter Chapter 3, verse 19 (prison)
Verse 19 speaks plainly of a third condition, where the just who had died before the redemption were waiting for heaven to be opened to them. After his death and before his resurrection, Christ visited those experiencing this third condition and preached to them the good news that his victory over sin was complete, and heaven would now be opened to them. These people thus were not yet in heaven, their final destination, but neither were they experiencing the torments of hell, from which there is no escape.
Luke 12:59
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Baptism is not apart from faith, belief and baptism are two sides of the same coin. I have never seem the verse in the Bible "Baptism is an act of obiedence". Rather Acts 2, 38 Repent, and be baptized (water) every one of you (all ages of people) in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the holy spirit". For the promise is unto you and to your Children.......No age limit here or age of accountability. Also, baptism is more the effect of the water, not the quantity (immersion vs pouring).
Frenz's comment about verse 21 on 10/26/2011, 2:42am...
When a person who has faith in God's word and trully understand the meaning of Baptism thru obedience to his word, and accept the process of salvation in his life, says in v-21 (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) God is happy to see the heart of man/woman with a good conscience toward God. Baptism in Jesus name(Acts 2:38)is our submission to the will of God,Holy Spirit baptism(Acts 2:1-4)is the confirmation that God accepted our submission & as children of God, heirs to his kingdom. See Romans 8:9,14-17, Ephesians 1:13 (1 Pet 3:21).
Did you know that: Born again(John 3:1-7)is the only way to enter into the Kingdom of God,Jesus requires born in water and born in spirit(John 3:5)born in water means baptism,baptism in Jesus name,born in spirit means Holy Spirit baptism.two baptism needed in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.
Jesimarie's comment on 10/08/2011, 10:18am...
baptism is symbolic of us dying to our sins being burried with christ and resurected with Him as something new. but is also a commandment from Jesus and since we show Him we love Him by obeying His commandments it is necessary. i do not believe little children who are not old enough to grasp the real meaning behind it should be baptized. as with anything one should fully understand the significants behind it b4 doing it. there is an age of accountability but it varies because all children develope at different rates. when they can truely understand the scripture and the importance of obeying them then they can be held responsible for choosing to or not to adhere to them. i do not believe a baby who dies days after birth will go to hell for not being baptized.
Doug Lamb's comment on 7/31/2011, 12:51pm...
After further study on baptsm I think that most people miss the point. Johin baptized with water to "manifest" Jesus Christ to Israel (they required a sign) in John 1:33 John the Baptist speaks of the "real" Baptism, which by Christ putting believers into the Body by his Holy Spirit. ( 1 Cor.12:13) So what happens today is; a lot of unsaved people are trusting in their Water Baptism. The NIV leaves out the confession of the Ethopian (Acts 8:37)and takes the man right into the water! The confession that they use today is the confession of a demon in Luke 4:41; "Thou art Christ the Son of God."..."The devils also believe, and tremble." (James 2:19) DGL
Cynthia Greene's comment on 6/26/2011, 11:38pm...
Baptism it is not a symbol. Why? Because it doth now save us . This is why we cannot do away with it. It is also a burial, not a sprinkling, or pouring of water over one’s head. Why? Because Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12 Speaks of Baptism as a Burial ( Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.) (Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.) I just want to stop right here for a minute. Here is where most get it twisted. The operation Of God is Baptism, we are risen with him through the faith of that operation---(Baptism) A real life view—If you go to a cemetery to bury someone, you just don’t sprinkle soil on top of them, nor do you pour a pitcher of water over their heads, that is just not a BURIAL! Now for the question of who should be baptized? The scripture plainly states: in Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. I want to shorten this you can ask me for scripture / or look them yourself. This is God’s mandate for baptism. One must hear the word of God, believe the word of God, repent of sins, confesses Jesus Christ to be the Son of God and thence forth be baptized. Question can a baby do any of that? I must leave now feel free to get back to me on that.

There is a lot of uncertainty around this verse...I can say for sure that Christ proclaimed His victory over death and sin,"but" the verses regarding "Taking captivity captive" (Eph.4:8) is troublesome. If He took people out of Hell(Psalm 68:18/Isa. 61:1)---who were they? One thing I know for sure..."The secret things belong unto the LORD our God." (Deut.29:29) Doug Lamb
Alison's comment on 10/28/2010, 4:43pm...
Why was Jesus an adult when he was baptized. I believe he was in his thirties!! John and Jesus were both adults! He fulfilled the law to be baptized!! It's a commandment! Mary wasn't told to baptize him as a baby...we're suppose to follow Jesus and do what he did..he is our example! Jesus followed the laws of Moses till he died! After the day of Pentecost, when the apostles received the holy ghost, they started to function in the church Jesus organized! See Acts 2 verse 1...see verse 14...
Alison's comment on 10/28/2010, 4:27pm...
the word (ALSO) is in VERSE 21 (meaning another reference to the figure 8 again!
Dictionary explains also means (addition to, besides)
Baptism is yes...under water and out again! Like Christ was baptized by John in the Jordan river!!
Alison's comment on 10/28/2010, 4:10pm...
There are two references to the figure 8! The eight souls saved by water (Noah's family) and then the second reference is saying in verse 21 "the like figure (8) where unto baptism does now save us"! Figure is a numerical symbol!!
Chaper 4 verse 6 is another account where it talks about preaching to them that are dead!
Anonymous's comment on 10/25/2010, 4:57pm...
Oh my, oh my. If you believe we are born pure and blameless, you are definitely reading a different scripture, because it is most certainly not the Holy Bible. When Paul writes, for we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, I must have missed the part about it only being adults over the age of 8. When looking at the notion of Baptism=regeneration one must take into account the entirety of scripture, starting in Genesis. Christianity is a continuation and fulfillment of the Jewish faith, therefore, a complete knowledge of scripture is required, not just looking at the New Testament. Pay particular attention to the covenants that God establishes throughout, the theme of passover and exodus, and finally the theme of Messiah. You can even just reference the passages of scripture that refer to water and see how they relate to baptism. The like figure in vs 20 is referring to the fact that Noah and his family were brought through the waters of the flood and out the other side. How do you correlate 8 souls being saved through the waters to 8 years old is now an age were you are held accountable before God? We as human beings have already proven that we are unable to do a single thing to be justified in front of the Father. This is why he sent the son. Scripture is clear on that. Just look at the figures throughout the scriptures that screw up royally...every single one of them. We are united to Christ through baptism in which his righteousness is sufficient to save us(Romans 6). In our Baptism this is something that God says about us; its an adoption ceremony. Does God require perfection from us? Yes! Christ says this on the Sermon on the Mount..."Be ye perfect as your heavenly father is perfect." Where do we get that perfection? Being united to Christ, not through belief, because one can never obtain perfect belief or perfect repentance(Galatians). This is why Christ came in the manner in which he did; through a birth canal. Christ represents us in all areas of our life, from childhood through adulthood. In regards to Paul referring to a baptism of spirit. You need to look up the Greek text on this as well as the baptism that is referred to in Romans 6. In both cases, the Greek text is translated as a physical aspect. A person is physically dunked under water, not just spiritually. There is nothing metaphorical about it, it is something that has definitively happened to you with the spirit present with the water. Unlike, asking Jesus in one's heart, something that is completely subjective...did I do it right the first time? I better do it again to make sure. Well I was feeling pretty good when I did it but now I'm feeling low, let me ask Christ into my heart again to make sure.
Alison Keller's comment on 9/30/2010, 3:19pm...
it applies that after eight we should know right from wrong. Look up (figure) in the dictionary!!! 8 people were saved in the days of Noah. Himself, his wife and three sons with the chosen women. "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth now save us"! verse 21 follows 20!!
yes we have to repent and live as best we can but 8 years old is the age of baptism not infancy. We are born pure and need no baptism yet. ;)
It clearly states Christ goes to the spirit world also to preach to the unrighteous to help redeem them.
John's comment on 9/29/2010, 11:27am...
I feel compelled to clarify that the baptism Peter speaks of is a baptism of spirit, an emersion in the spirit of Christ. The water baptism that we all receive in front of the church is symbolic of our death to self and our resurrection in Christ. The heart of the man is the matter and it most certainly is necessary that the Holy Spirit be embraced in the heart. The act of being baptized in water in itself does not insure salvation it is a public profession of an inner change or “baptism” that has already taken place.
Jibril Abu's comment about verse 1 on 6/22/2010, 3:41am...
First,we must realize that scripture co-relates the BELIEVING wife on the one hand and an UNBELIEVING or FALLEN husband living as couples. Without doubt then,it's a ready answer to a Believing wife married to an unbeliever and do need an answer. As a believing wife,you must first,as a precursor,preach to your unbelieving hubby and if he seem not listening and willing to get converted, the option of your continued God fearing life style supersedes.Not urgently constituted but had been in you and had been in display. A wife should first have been won attitude and character-wise to show herself an Ambassador of Christ even to her very matrimony.
Anonymous 's comment on 4/30/2010, 5:49pm...
First of all, there is no age of accountability being mentioned in this passage. Paul is very clear in his Epistle to the Romans, the foundational doctrine of the early church, that we are all born with the sin of Adam. He does not say that we are born pure and then end up evil after we turn 8 years old. Since God hates sin, hence Jesus Christ's victory on the cross,and we are all born as sinful beings, we are all in need of salvation - even a new born baby. 1st Peter 3:21 makes clear that we are saved through baptism, not by accepting Christ into my heart, where I can domesticate Him. Also for reference Romans chapter 6
Felicity's comment on 3/01/2010, 8:30am...
I love this scripture. It revives me. Showing that being humble can bring you great rewards. You dont have to fight all battles but the Heavenly Father is there for you. I love it. Even towards the end when Jesus goes to the spirutual world, this shows a lot. Glory be to God. The Lord is for real & great. Wish everyone could read this.
Alison Keller's comment on 1/31/2010, 10:07pm...
I love this because it tells us that the dead are preached to in prison in the spirit world...telling us the wicked, in the days of Noah were being preached to!! Shows there is a second chance to those that don't know better!
It also shows the age of baptism...it is 8 yrs old (infants are born too pure to be baptized yet) the like figure of Noah's family that were saved from the flooding of the earth!! Noah and his wife and his three sons and the women they choose to come with them!!!!!
Also says Christ sits on the right hand of God (father in heaven) Angels, authorities (Moses,Adam etc.) and powers being made subject unto him!!
What a strong testimony I have of the spirit prison I wish I could share!!
I met James LeSueuer's Son in Phoenix in a library one day!!!
