Slevesque is Correct on this Point

Then dare explain, what happened to the criminal, who did not get baptized, yet was saved by pure grace only because God opened his eyes and he believed.
There are many acts who are actions of faith: praise is an example. Yet you do not consider them to be necessary for salvation. If you are consistent, neither should you consider baptism to be any different.
It is always nice to know that someone claiming to speak for Christianity actually read the Christian manual and applied common sense in giving it meaning.
Now if we could get past your rule that parables are only allowed in the NT and never in the OT, we may be able to achieve some common ground, however little that may matter to you in the ultimate scheme of things that can be discussed.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
Salman Rushdie
This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
