| | + | :::[Parenthetical Not to derail a good ongoing discussion, which I hope you answer above, but let expound momentarily: while ''repentance'' is a change of heart or change of mind, it cannot remind in your head, It must be spoken. Sin must be admitted by the issue of your mouth. Catholic confession recognized this loooong before Sigmund Freud ever admired the the psychological wellbeing that comes from it.] |

The unmerited gift of salvation in Christ by his blood poured out upon us through the water-washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, because "This is he that came by '''water and blood''', ''even'' Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by '''water and blood'''. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth." That is why Baptism cleanses from sin and saves us now. Ephesians 5:26-27; Acts 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21; John 3:3-5.
