It is this simple. Let me break it down this way.

Baptism is a necessity and the only requirement that confirms salvation of a convert/redeemed soul. If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour, your first call of obiedence is to surrender yourself for baptism. If you don't get baptized, it is disobedience to the commandment of God.
(Mark 16:16.)

But there is an exception, should a man be on the dying bed and accepts Christ as his lord and saviour, confesses his sins and changes his ways but didn't get the opportunity to get baptized, such will make heaven. Remember Jesus and the thief on the right hand at Golgotha. Jesus said to him, that he will be with him in heaven with the father

See what Jesus thinks here Matt 28:19-20

I Know But Is It Really Neccesary

I Know But Is It Really Neccesary

You mean is Jesus commandment necessary?

A Believer Ought To Get Baptised, That Means You Went To Calvary With Christ..
But B'cos One Iz Baptise Doesn't Guarantee Heaven, You Also Have To Be Baptise With The Holy Ghost I.E Your Then Part Of Jesus Body, Or You Won't Go In The Rapture, B'cos The Bible Said With One Spirit We Are All Baptised In Christ Body, You Have To Live A Christain Life Always..

No That Not What I Am Saying because I Am About To Join Baptism Class In My Church

Well if you think Jesus commandment is not important so be it. There are other scriptures regarding this but this is directly from Jesus and it's as clear as crystal. That's why am not bringing them up so we don't get into arguments. I always try to avoid any religious argument. If you feel this one directly from Christ is not enough so be it.

Ok I Am Sorry, I Confess My Sins But Can You Show Me The Oda Scriptures

First of all, I want to say that baptism is very necessary if one must be identified as Christ's own. It is an indispensable ritual which signifies our death to sin, and our resurrection to newness of life.

There is only one way of baptism, and that is by immersion. The Catholic method of sprinkling or pouring is not baptism.

If you check the Bible, you can never see an instance of pouring or sprinkling water on someone in the name of baptism. Baptism has always been done by immersion, until the Catholic church polluted that most honourable ritual.

And if you study deep into baptism, you'll find out that the only method of baptism that illustrates all that baptism signifies is the method of immersion.

GOD bless you.

Well I'd like to think that they, of all the other "churches", would know how best to do it since they're like 2000 years old.

I am always perplexed when I hear people say the catholic way of baptism is unacceptable.

Its not good to opine on What you know nothing about. Its better to ask question


Op be wary of the wrath of GOD.

essence of baptism is to be dead to sin, if you dont mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall die

The baptism of Jesus marks the beginning of his public ministry.

Yes. Baptism is a step to salvation.
Read the following passages Matt 28:18-19; Mark 16:15-16; Acts 2:36-42; Acts 8:12,13,26-38; Acts 9:18; Acts 10:47-48; Acts 16:22-33.

Baptism is actually the prerequisite to salvation. Let's examine baptism on the accounts of JESUS and Paul de Apostle.

JESUS speaking in 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.”

Also, according to Paul in Act 19: 1-6
Acts 19:1-6King James Version (KJV)

19 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

5 When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

Reading from the book of Acts 16:15 & 25-33, you'll see that for every new convert, there was a baptismal process. Baptism is to show that your sins have been washed away. Jesus our Lord passed through this process likewise Paul did.

The spiritual baptism is to take you to the next level of divine communionship with God.

There's no salvation without baptism even when you realise Christ has died for you.
