Jesus died so that we could be brought back to life. We have to die, too. We have to die to sin and be buried before we can live again. The physical act of obedience that God requires of us in order to complete the process is immersion (burial). When we come out—and Paul said “we” (including himself; Acts 22:16)—we are alive again. No wonder Peter says that baptism saves us (1 Peter 3:21). Don’t let anyone mislead you, you must be born again, and it includes water (John 3:3,5; Acts 8:36-39).
