How do we know that baptism does not save us?

Answered in 1 source

The Scriptures clarify that baptism is not instrumental for salvation as it does not wash away sin; only faith in Christ does.

Scripture clearly indicates that salvation is by grace through faith alone, not by any works, including baptism. Passages such as Ephesians 2:8-9 affirm that no human effort, including the act of baptism, can justify or save. The thief on the cross, for instance, was not baptized yet was promised salvation, illustrating that faith, not baptism, is the essential element for salvation. Thus, while baptism is a significant and obedient act for believers, it is not the means of salvation but a response to one's faith in Christ.
