yes it is necessary. be baptized for the remission of sins. believe and be baptized and you shall be saved. baptism doth also now save us. as many of us as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.....etc. etc. the confusion has to come from our unwillingness to put scripture over our own agenda.

yes its required thats when your sins r forgiven and u recieve the Spirit

[BlackFox0911]

There is no single act that grants salvation over all others. The following quotes are the plan of salvation. Words in caps are the act, but letter limits keep me from including the book and verse. "So then faith cometh by HEARING...". "He that BELIEVETH and is BAPTIZED...". "REPENT and be baptized every one of you...". "That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy mouth". "...BE THOU FAITHFUL unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life"

Mark 16:16. "He that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be damned"

2+2=4. 2 and 2 SHALL BE 4. 2+0 does NOT equal 4. Both pieces are required to assemble the whole. The second half of the verse does not invalidate the first because you're either saved or not. So when is says "he that believeth AND is baptized..." it's saying that both parts lead to salvation

In Acts 22:16 says that baptism washes away our sin. In Rev 1:5 it says that the blood of Christ washes away our sin. Therefore, its in baptism that one contacts the blood of Christ which washes away their sins. The faith that saves is the faith that obeys. Matt. 28:19 says Christ commanded it. Read the bible especially the New Testament. In the book of Acts see if you can find one example of conversion that doesn't include baptism

@turi73 People who would boast in their baptism have not understood that it IS an act of faith in Jesus! Look at your own statement. How does one pass from (spiritual) death to life without the remission of sin? Don't fear the false dilemma of reformation theology. Repentance and water baptism in the name of Jesus is FOR the remission of sin. We are saved through His resurrection when we obey ...not any work that merits His grace.

It's weird for me seeing all these kids.. I grew up in the Church of Christ also.. I planned to be baptized, but never did because I was shy. I didn't know how to pray and I didn't want to get up in front of the church.

As I got older I realized that I was not a believer. It was too late for me then. Mark 16:16 gives the ultimatum. I don't believe. :(

I don't believe God would condemn 4 to 6 billion people to eternal suffering. Either one believes or he doesn't. Is that a choice?

Yes baptism in Jesus name is absolutely essential for salvation.

WHY?

Please come to my web site as I explain why we need to baptized and what happens to us during baptism. I also explain who we become after baptism--it is a wanderful salvation message.

Yes baptism (submersion in water) is neccessary just as hearing the word is necessary, repenting is necessary and obeying Christ's commandments as best as you can and living a repentent life by asking forgiveness on and ongoing basis is necessary. The Baptist/denominational logic would have you believe that baptism is a work and not necessary, but it is a obedient action like hearing the word. By their logic hearing the word is not necessary either, so everyone is saved for doing nothing.
