I believe you must be baptized
Please read Acts 2:38
and Mark 16:16

Did the thief on the cross whom Jesus said would be in paradise need to be Baptized?
What if you and your friends were witnessing on the street and someone accepted Jesus and on their way to a church to get baptized they get hit by a truck, are they gonna go to hell?

You don't have to be baptized to be saved, being baptized is only a testimony that you got saved.

Saved first then baptized after..
First they repented (believed) and afterwards baptized..

Water baptism is necessary to those who believe in it. My personal belief is the Word of the Gospel that washes the mind with truth. As Christ said "I am the Truth the Light and the Way"That is the water baptism,yet Jesus Himself was baptised and so was I,both by water and the Word.

What good is baptism without the special underwear? You MUST receive the special underwear. That is the key to salvation, that special ingredient and the secret sauce, if you will.

I do not believe that you HAVE to be baptized to be saved.
All you have to do is to accept Jesus.

Nah, I think if you are truely a good person, that is good enough, anything more than that is brain washing.

I don't believe you need to be saved from anything in the first place.

depends on the religion, sometimes the baptism is mainly symbolic.
