Changes

:::[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 remain in your head, It must be spoken with your mouth. Sin must be admitted by the issue of your words. 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&nbsp;Peter 3:21; John 3:3-5.

::::::Your requirement of ''repentance'', a change of heart or change of mind, which must be spoken with the mouth, and admitted by the issue of words, excludes from the possibility of salvation all newborns, infants, and children in arms who die, who are incapable of understanding, let alone competent to express ''repentance'', a change of heart or change of mind, which must be spoken with the mouth, and admitted by the issue of words, especially since "there is none righteous, no not one", and "all have sinned". The regeneration of baptism by water and the Spirit for these "while we were helpless" saves them now. That is the unmerited grace of salvation in Christ through the gracious gift of baptism "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 15:25, 24 November 2019 (EST)
