If you havent been baptized that doesnt mean you havent been saved. When you have been saved you have prayed and asked jesus to come into your heart. Baptism is only a symbol of the choice that you have made. So basically baptism is just an outward expression of an inward decision. The bible does say that if you are saved then you need to be baptized just as Jesus was...I hope this helps...

I presume that points of view would depend on religion. I have been baptized on my first birhtday.
And yes, Christians would say that if you are not than you haven't been saved, because there is quote from Bible, I don't know it in English, but goes like - you can not approach Father except trought me (Christ). Which means that one has to be baptized, because you can not be Christian if you are not, right?
Anyway, it depends on religion, so Jewish wouldn't agree with that, or any other except Christians.

Yes, I have been baptized. No, it doesn't mean you aren't saved if you are not baptized. Baptism is simply an outward and visible sign of your acceptance of Christ as your Savior. What is in your heart is what saves you.

I was baptized before I had any say in the matter.
Jesus never said anything about needing to be baptized. That's just another silly ritual the church invented after the fact. Another phony sacrament they could allow or withhold from the peasants to keep them in line.

I was baptized. In certain religions,yeah it means you haven't been saved. But I personally think that all good ppl will be saved in the end. Doesn't really matter to me tho,I'm going to hell...thats where all the cool ppl are going! :)

I have. (Infant baptism).
But what matters is on the inside. Baptism is just an outward sign of the inward change.
I know many who are baptized but that does not show in their walk.

I was baptized as an infant as well...and no, you don't have to be baptized to be "saved" - whatever that means. Live a good life, be kind...that's all the saving I need.
