Notes on 1 Peter 3:20 and Water Baptism
1 Peter 3:20 NIV who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark
was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through
water,
21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal
of dirt from the
body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God It saves you by the
resurrection
of Jesus Christ,
22 who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels, authorities
and powers in
submission to him.
(1 Peter 3:21) ISV Baptism,
which is symbolized by that water,
now saves you also, not by removing dirt from the body, but by asking God for a clear conscience based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 3:20 KJV Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in
the
days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight
souls were saved
by water.
21 ¶ The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the
flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward
God,) by the resurrection of Jesus
Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and
authorities and
powers being made subject unto him.
Eight Souls were Saved By Water. They were, the
Bible (God's Holy Word) says it.
The world was so sinful. God carried these eight
soul plus creation out of a sinful world in an Ark that
floated on the water. If one Notices In these
verses that the water had not any saving powers what so ever.
The Ark which the Lord provided and also shut
the door. In the water all died. If they
Did not accept God’s way of salvation they died
in the flood. Water Kills. You will drown
If the water is over you head with no way to
breath. The ark Saved Heb 11:7
Heb 11:7 NIV
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in
holy fear built an ark to save his family.
By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness
that comes by faith.
The Water came after Noah
was saved. Noah’s Faith and reverence is the reason he built the Ark
Before the flood. God
provided the way and oversaw it by closing (sealing the door).
This being true then, how did the water save Noah and his family? It demonstrated his salvation,
proved his salvation, attested his salvation.
The like figure whereunto baptism doth also now save us. If there is a similarity between that and baptism, then we must put On Christ first and be
sealed for eternality by the Holy Spirit before baptism.
The believer shows their salvation in the demonstration of baptism. Death, burial, and resurrection. Read the sentence leaving this out, the red text.

Water symbolizes baptism. There is a double figure here. The flood symbolizes baptism, and baptism symbolizes salvation. The flood was a figure of baptism in that in both instances the water that spoke of judgment (in the flood the death of the wicked, in baptism the death
of Christ and the believer) is the water that saves.
Baptism is a symbol of salvation in that
it depicts Christ's death, burial and resurrection and
our identification with him in these experiences Romans 6:4 NIV
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life Roman 6:4 KJV 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 (Romans 6:4)Bible in Basic
English
We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death:
so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.
It is Not to be taken Lightly. We Are still talking
about Water Baptism.
Baptism depicts graphically what happens as a result of the Christian's union with Christ, which comes with faith--through faith we are
united with Christ,
just as through our natural birth we are united
with Adam. As we fell into sin and we became subject to death in father
Adam,
so we now have died and been raised again with
Christ--which baptism symbolizes.
Now saves you also. In reality, believers are
saved by what baptism symbolizes--
Christ's death and resurrection. The symbol and the reality are so closely related that the symbol is sometimes used to refer to the reality. God's Hand Closed the
Door to the Ark.
Gen 7:16 And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh,
as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
This is Jesus Before he came in the flesh (a
human body.) Jesus before He came In the Flesh.
If you wanted say it in simple words, God Did
the Saving. YHWH (Jehovah)
Pledge of a good conscience toward God.
The act of baptism is a commitment on the part of the believer in all good conscience to make sure that what baptism symbolizes will become a reality in his life.
Saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the final analysis people are saved not by any ritual,
but by the supernatural power of the resurrection.
It seems the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Gets
in they way of man doing anything to save his soul.
God saves to the uttermost in Christ Jesus.
God is Majestic. God is Creator. God is Almighty.
God Is Wonderful. God is a Jealous God.
God is Spelled Good With O Me Left Out.
The Bible is grammatically Correct. Some of the Writers that God used were not Scholars. Some were Fisherman. Lord,
Jesus saves, All one has to do is trust in God's finished work. Please Pray for our work. Or make any comment Thanks.
