Water Baptism and Salvation. Is it required and why be baptized? Clearing the air.
Jesus says to Nicodemus “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Christian baptism has its roots in Jewish practice during the pre-christian era. Converts to Judaism were baptized to express their faith in Jehovah God. When John the Baptist came upon the scene to prepare the hearts of the Jews to receive their Messiah, he demanded repentance, confession of sin, and baptism in water. He declared, "I needed to baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me… shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire".
After His resurrection, Jesus instructed His apostles to "Go… teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost".

The responsibility of continuing His ministry, propagating the gospel, and establishing and extending the New Testament church fell upon the relatively few disciples. Having their understanding opened to the will of God regarding the plan of redemption, they were filled with the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost, which further enlightened their minds. When a curious multitude gathered to witness this historic event in Jerusalem, Peter preached a sermon that brought them under deep conviction for their sins. They asked the apostles, "What shall we do?".
Peter's answer was unmistakably plain: "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". What does that mean for us today?
