Mark 16:16 (KJV)
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Mark 16:16 - Baptism is not required for salvation. Look at the second part of that Scripture. The important part is in the believing and accepting Jesus as your Saviour....heart knowledge....a road to Damascus. Notice that this part of Scripture doesn't mention baptism at all. Why? Because you can get baptized 100 times and it won't save you. I always knew who Jesus was from the time of a kid. Too bad I waited until I was 35 years old to accept Him into my heart. I became a child of God at that moment. Baptism is performed as the first obedient step afterward. If baptism had anything to do with salvation, what about deathbed conversion? They can't be baptized in their bed, or out in the field, or right before heading into battle.

It is of my opinion, when we believe Jesus in our heart and confess from our mouth. We have been Baptized with His blood and made in the image Christ - Christ like - Christian. We become as Christ righteous and without sin.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

The old testament the law has been shed, this is the old man and the new testament Grace put on, this is the new man.

Baptism is the process of dipping a cloth in a vat and applying a color to new or old garments.

1. applying a color to a garment and made new. - I see this as the gentiles.
2. applying a color to restore it's color. I see this as the Jew.

Proof is given to each of us with the putting on of the of the new man.
We can see this new man by faith. He is as real as you and I AM.

There is a second baptism by water talked about in the New Testament but that is very lengthily explanation and for another day.

If you want my thoughts on this PM me and I'll be happy to talk to you.

Just quick note on this.

The second baptism is give much attention and instructions on how it is to be performed in the New Testament and little on the importance of first Baptism which without it there can be no second baptism.
