...'and is"..is incomprehensible to most "believers' per Mark 16:16.Believing saves being baptized is obeying!!!
Love and obediance cannot be seperated . HE who loves ME , KEEPS my words . HE who loves ME NOT , Keeps not my sayings .
I would say that salvation in baptism consists of remission of sins and the receiving of the Holy Ghost...I agree to the extent that if the Baptism was undergone by a “Believer”, he is saved......he was saved because of his Faith in Jesus Christ and getting Baptized is a pretty solid sign that the guy that got wet was more than likely a man who had that Faith.....we gotta remember it was the Faith that lead to the baptism and not the baptism itself....any Gospel that relies upon any firm of human merit ( religion, in other words) ain’t the Gospel....
Both are required.Believing saves being baptized is obeying!!!
OK, lets ask...
Q: God, how can I be saved?
A: Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
[38] Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
The Lord has not stopped calling.
God Bless!
What conclusion do you draw from that?A person who does not believe will be damned (Mark 16:16). The same scripture does not say that the one who is not baptized will be damned.

Both are required.
Peter said baptism saves us. (1Pet 3:21).
Jesus said both belief and baptism are required (Mk 16:16)

“ Believe on the Lord , Jesus Christ and you shall be Saved”
Shame on Paul, I suppose , for not telling the whole truth and letting this Contrite man be damned because Paul left out that he also had to be Baptized.....what on Earth was Paul thinking? For the Sincere Jailer seeking Salvation? Sorry about your bad luck there, old buddy.......
OOPS!!! Did God forget to tell us that to be saved we must be baptized???
Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13 GOD SAYS=
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved.......OOPS!!! Did God forget to tell us that to be saved we must be baptized???
That’s why Jesus told the Thief on the Cross......” Sorry kid, I know you turned to me ( repented) with the Faith That I could save you, But your present circumstances preclude any water baptism , and well, darn the+bad luck.....you just can’t be Saved without that water......”
Or then again, maybe Jesus said nothing of the sort......
The Baptism into “ The Body Of Christ” is the Vital one....without “ that” baptism, all the dunking in the world ain’t gonna do you a thing.....
Pull up a chair and may all sit down .The problem is many have separated from obedience.
Jesus said:" If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (Matthew 28:19)
"And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." (Acts 10:48)
Now today, many seem to think it is optional equipment as on a car.
God Bless!
I conclude from that, that believing means that you "should not perish" (John 3:16)...which is an iffy proposition; but still has value.What conclusion do you draw from that?
