speratus,

Since faith is the fruit of regeneration, then all who undergo baptism, being regenerated are given faith, then by logically necessity, all who are baptized are saved, they having faith. If, however, you want to deny that all who are regenerated in baptism aren't saved, then you are faced with the odious problem that regenerated persons are subject to condemnation. Since you seem to want to make baptism an instrumental cause of regeneration, there is no way around this.

Your whole argument is based on an unproven assumption: If baptism is a washing of regeneration, all baptized are regenerated. That's like saying that everyone who "hears" the gospel "hears" the gospel. The word preached in baptism does not profit the unbelieving and unregenerate not being mixed with faith. Heb. 4:2.
