by David Long
"who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us -- baptism(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God)" (1 Pet. 3:20-21).
God had a plan to save man and in the Old Testament He was revealing that plan in types. Now in the New Testament we understand that plan in the antitypes. Those who reject baptism as necessary for salvation don't understand the types and antitypes.
