PetrePan:
buh some great men didnt do it and they are still righteous..and is it necessary to be done by water?

That was Old Testament, it wasn't necessary then as God himself speaks to those great men directly.
Remember in the same Old Testament, God introduced Circumcision for all male, which is for God's people; Blood sprinkling and atonement and other things for sanctification and purification.
Now baptism was introduced in the New Testament to abolish the old, and gain new life in Christ Jesus.
Baptism with Water and Holy Spirit is called new birth after you must have confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Remember, Nicodemus asked Jesus what to do to make the Kingdom of God, Jesus answered, you must be Born again. Which is only possible by baptism, and Jesus mentioned what is needed for the baptism, water and spirit.
And Jesus urged us to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth and baptising those that believe in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
So if you have accepted Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior, you must be baptized!
I rest my case!
