Baptism is seen as the appointed time of you REALIZING the atonement of Christ in covenant. That is why it is NEW not OLD!
I can say yes and no to "faith alone" see my previous post. It is a matter of context of what is attached to it.

So we get down to the questions. How much do we have to obey him to achieve new birth? Is it repent, be baptized, and get the Holy Ghost?
