"The Word was at the start…and the Word was God…. All things were made by Him…. The only-begotten Son Who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared Him… He baptizes with the Holy Spirit…. Keep on going, and make all nations disciples, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!… He who has believed and who has been baptized, shall keep on being saved." ( John 1:1,3,18,33; Matthew 28:19 & Mark 16:16)
"In the days of Noah the ark was being prepared in which…eight souls were saved through water. The similar figure to which, also baptism, now saves B not [as] the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but [as] the answer of a good conscience toward God…. There are three that bear record in heaven — the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit — and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth, the spirit and the water and the blood B and these three agree in one." (First Peter 3:20-21 & First John 5:7-8)
