""ALL"" have sinned and fall short but only those that reject Jesus choose to live in their sin.
God does not want to see anyone in hell but you are free to choose to reject Jesus and go to hell =all your choice so don't try to blame God for your very poor choice!
how do I know what is And what is not God’s word?
is baptism necessary for salvation?
Those that do not know God's Word need to read the Eternal living Word and believe it if they refuse then they are lost.
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
""After"" you are saved then obey and be baptized.

Faith in JESUS . If our faith is truly in HIM then we are and would be hearers and doers of the word .
Thus my advice remains the same . IF the early church water baptized , WE WATER BAPTIZE .
Doing all things our Lord did say and teach with Joy in the LORD .

Believers obey and are baptized =not to be saved but because they have been saved and now want to obey and be baptized!!
Pray for some wisdom and understanding of what God's Word is teaching Mark 16:6 Yes! He that believes will be saved and then obey and be baptized. Who has disbelieved (( not he who is not baptized)) shall be condemned.
Context of Jn 3:5 “born again”
John1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; (John prepared the way by baptism)
John 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. (Old covenant prefiguring of baptism, purification from sin)(His disciples believed because the ever Virgin mother of God interceded Jn 2:11)
John3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (IBaptism)
John 3:22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. 23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.(Baptism / water)
John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John.
Born again means Baptismal regeneration!

Being baptized after we are saved is obeying God but being baptized before we believe is just getting wet!!!
not according to scripture
ez 36:25-27
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
When we read God's Word we are expected to use our brain and think!!! Baptism does not save anyone. We know unbelievers that have been baptized to please their mother,girl friend, pastor and etc. People could be baptized every day of their life and still not be saved!!!
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
""After"" you are saved then obey and be baptized.

Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Enduring till the end is the only way to know if you are saved. Scripturally.
Moreover,

And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

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. 39For 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. 40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto themabout three thousand souls.
there is no need for a water baptism for remission of sins only when you have been baptized by the word of God then shall you become a new man.
