Why not? Give me scripture?
John 3:16. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.....the verse doesn't say...whoever believes and is baptized in him should not perish...That's one.

Here's another...Acts 2:21...And it will come to pass that everyone who shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”....once again no mention of baptism.

Need another? Romans 10:13 doesn't mention baptism...for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

It should be your concern because it is required...per scriptures.
I just gave you 3 verses that showed it wasn't a requirement...I can even provide several accounts where the people were saved..THEN...got baptized.

Where is all of your verses that say we MUST be baptized in water to be saved.

No why does it have to be?.........what is wrong with Acts 2;38...which requires baptism...for a starter?...et al?
Acts 2:38 is not the teachings of Jesus VIA Paul
1 Cor 15.1-4, Eph 1.13 is the Gospel that Jesus taught VIA Paul (Gal 1.11-12)

1 Cor 1.17 for Jesus sent me NOT to baptize

Cornelius was filled with the Holy Spirit before he was baptised.
Paul was saved when He acknowledged Jesus for who He was.
You don't know if Psal was saved...because that can only be determined after death and when Jesus does his judgement.
No one is saved until we are reviewed. On earth we are born again...only.... not saved
