Anyone who states that baptism does not save you are causers of confusion. No matter how they try to explain or justify it. Baptism is the beginning of salvation! After that it is up to you to live according to the rest of Gods Word in order to stay saved!
Jesus Himself said in Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" after it states the beginnings of the "works" as Saints. James 2:17 refers to faith without works, so of course You cannot have one without the other.
Acts 2:38 says "repent and be baptized for the remission of your sins" = Salvation ...
Works alone do not save you, but the baptism in Jesus name is the beginning of the salvation formula! People hearing that baptism does not save causes them to choose not to be baptized, yet they still do the works ... think about that long and hard before you start claiming that baptism does not save you. Because if you are doing the works of The Kingdom yet do not have the Holy Ghost and have not been baptized, you are not saved and will not enter into Heaven ...
You cannot pick and choose which part of the Bible you are going to live by, its all or nothing!
...
John 3:5 says: "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God"
This is a literal statement mandating literal action ...
...
Forgiveness of sins is for the purpose of receiving redemption from Christ. The baptism in His name is the basis of full biblical salvation as is commanded by Jesus Himself to His believers. It is essential for life and economical for power given by the spirit to the believers and is the all inclusive blessing of living by God's full Gospel ... you are not saved if you not baptized in Jesus name. Neither are you if you do not have the gift of the Holy Ghost, if you have not received it since being baptized, do not stop seeking it, but realize there may something in your life that you must give up for God first ...
...
The sheer amount of research and theology I find that says Baptism is not a requirement for salvation is insulting and is condemning millions to Hell. It is a Biblical commandment and if you choose to live contradictory to ANY Scripture in that Bible you are not saved! ...
...
Ephesians 4:5-6 (KJV) ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, who is above ALL, and through all, and in you all.
