Is Baptism Necessary For Salvation?

Jesus placed baptism before salvation, not after it (Mark 16:16). 2. So did Peter (Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21). And Paul (Galatians 3:27; Colossians 2:12-13; Acts 22:16). 3. Jesus and the apostles inherently linked baptism with faith (Mark 16:16; Galatians 3:26-27; Colossians 2:12). Thus being baptized is simply trusting in God’s way of saving you.
