why does St Peter say in scripture that "baptism" now saves you? was he sadly mistaken of the truth?

Answer 1

saint peter knew that circumsion was the old law of purification but that with the new convenant in Christ Jesus, we are freed from our sins with baptism. we obey Christ who commanded us to be baptised everyone of you, and we see this in the apostles who went to the home of cornelus and baptised the entire household which included to the dismay of protestors the little tiny children of that household.

Answer 2

The reference is to 1 Peter 3:18-22:

"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison 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, 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, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him."

St. Peter was faithfully teaching the message he received in three years of apprenticeship with Jesus. Jesus showed us how important baptism was by being baptized himself, even though he had no sins to wash away.

Jesus directed Peter and the disciples to baptize until they they were baptizing more people than John the Baptist (see John 4:1-2).

Protestants should take Jesus seriously. He said in Mark 16:16: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

Faith alone does not save.

Answer 4

1Peter 3:21 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:


This is the verse to which you refer. Most everyone ignores the first three words for some reason. "The like figure" tells us the Peter is saying that baptism is the picture or 'figure' of what really saves us which is the Blood of Christ. Notice Peter also says baptism is not cleansing us like water cleanses dirt.
He is saying like the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from our sin, baptism is a picture of that happening.
We go in dirty and come out clean, but not by the water; by the Blood.

Answer 5

What did Peter mean when he said, “That which corresponds to this”? He meant that baptism founded on faith corresponds to the preservation of Noah and his family, who were carried safely through the floodwaters that destroyed those outside the ark. As Noah needed faith to build the ark, all who become baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and witnesses of God must have faith to withstand pressures brought against them by this faithless world and its god, Satan the Devil.
Baptism itself is not what saves. And though we must ‘put away the filth of the flesh,’ that alone does not save us. Rather, salvation is “through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” Baptismal candidates must have faith that salvation is possible only because God’s Son died a sacrificial death and was resurrected. They must also accept Jesus as their Lord having authority to judge the living and the dead. “He is at God’s right hand,” said Peter, “for he went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers were made subject to him.”—1 Peter 3:22.
Peter also associated baptism with “the request made to God for a good conscience.” To acquire a good conscience, an immersion candidate must repent of his sins, turn around from a wrong course, and make an unreserved dedication to God in prayer through Jesus Christ. If a baptized person maintains that good conscience by conforming to God’s standards, he remains in a saved condition that does not call for Jehovah’s condemnatory judgment.

Answer 6

No!The Bible says that one must be baptized to be saved. This is the beginning of salvation called initial salvation that starts one's justification or journey down the path that leads to salvation. Salvation is not a one time event but a process begun by faith, evidenced by works and merits gained. We are in need of grace received in the Sacraments all through our lives to continue and endure in faith.

I don't know about the "now" part but I believe he was saying you need to be baptized or cleansed of sin, to be a Christian

Because it does like he said in Acts.

Acts 2:39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."
