  [ Ananias to Saul - quoted by Paul in his defense at Jerusalem]
1 Pet 3:21 corresponding to that [8 people brought safely thro' the water in the ark], baptism now saves you - not the removal of dirt from the flessh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.
Rom 6:1-11 ....all of us who have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into His death. Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. ...united in His death, so also in His resurrection...the old man was crucified...our body of sin made powerless...we died with Him, we will live with Him....consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through the cross.
