    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hello again, With respect, regarding your last paragraph, it is not true that anyone who has not heard is an unbeliever, he simply has not had the opportunity to hear in order to believe. Romans chapters 1 & 2 make it clear that God takes into consideration on the day when the secrets of men...
