Thank you TrueTomHarley, yes I was aligning myself with what Peter said. That just as being saved meant in Noah's age, being on the ark, being saved in the time of the depends on being baptized.
1Peter 3:20,21
20 who had formerly been disobedient when God was patiently waiting in Noah’s day, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, is also now saving you (not by the removing of the filth of the flesh, but by the request to God for a good conscience), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
