    (1 Peter 1:23 & John 3:5 and the water referred to in 3:5 is the word of God).
    ---------------------------------------
    Wotsup, I find most of what you say is without support from the Scriptures. Your above comment is just one example.

    (John 3:5) Jesus answered: “Most truly I say to you, unless anyone is born from water and spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

    The ''water'' Jesus referred to was the water of baptism.

    (Matthew 3:16) After being baptized, Jesus immediately came up from the water; and look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw God’s spirit descending like a dove and coming upon him.

    (1 Peter 3:21) Baptism, which corresponds to this, is also now saving you (not by the removing of the filth of the flesh, but by the request to God for a good conscience), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
