Correct!
...having been buried with Him in baptism, in which
you were also raised up with Him
through
faith in the working of God, who raised Him
from the dead. Colossians 2:12 (NAS)
This newness of life we experience from being
"buried with Christ in baptism", is because of
God's working. The working of God in baptism
is where we put our faith. So we have no room
for boasting:
Ephesians 2:8-9 -- "For by grace you have been saved
through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the
gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one
should boast." (NAS)
Do you have faith that God will raise you up out of
the waters of baptism, fully cleansed from your
sins?
