Isn't water only for external use? How can it "doth also now save us" (I Peter 3:21) when sin are internal?

Question

I PETER 3:21 ALLEGEDLY SAYS"

"The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ"

Where did Jesus say be "water baptized for a good conscience"

When Hebrews 9:14 Asks

"How more shall the blood of Christ [aka Holy Spirit baptism; Mark 16:16], who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, (((PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE)))  from (((DEAD WORKS)))  [Baptizing yourselves & eating His Body] to serve the living God?"

"It is the blood of His Son Jesus Christ who cleanses us from all sins" (I John 1:7)

"Without blood there is no remission" (Hebrews 9:22).

So (((HOW))) does a water "baptism doth also save us" (I Peter 3:21) that makes (((TWO))) baptisms when Ephesians 4:5 says "one baptism?"

GOD sent me to WARN you people; That roman catholic church DECEIVED the HELL out of y'all that's sending you to HELL in "UNBELIEF" (Revelation 21:8)

When JESUS DOES (John 1:33) the "one baptism" (Ephesians 4:5)

"PERFECTLY" (Acts 18:26; Psalm 18:30)!

Have you ever considered that Ephesians was added to sow confusion?

We have wasted so much time in reading such illogical, incoherent and unbelievable material, that we want that time back.

To better understand v. 21, you need to understand v. 20.

1Pe 3:20  because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 
1Pe 3:21  Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

In Noah's day, he lived among a world full of sinful wickedness.  Obviously, being a righteous man, he would want to be saved from all of that.  So God washed all that sinfulness away with a great flood, and he and his family began new lives.  Baptism in water is like that.

Act 22:16  And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’

Rom 6:3  Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 
Rom 6:4  We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

Update for asker GN:

We're all still waiting for your explanation of Ac 8:26-40.
