Baptism with water a reminder of the Global Flood
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.
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:
1 Peter 3:20,21
