Do you know what the great commission was and means to Christians?

Question

What doe baptism have to with it?

I went to the book of Mark Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Does this mean babys have the ability to be baptized.

Answer 1

It's usually a reference to Mark 16:14-20, and especially the verses 15 and 16: "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."

It is the charge that all believers should proclaim the gospel in their station in life, and that collectively the Christian church should evangelize the whole earth. Baptism has something to do with it because Christ mentioned it in the same breath as it were.

As a separate note, many who support believer baptism will quote this verse as evidence. Those who support infant baptism (as I do) point out that this section refers properly to adults who are baptized after conversion. For believers who have confessed their faith, it is proper that they and their children are baptized; fitting with the three biblical principles:
1 that the covenant promises which are made with believers and their seed (cf. circumcision on the 8th day in the Old Testament which is connected with baptism eg. in Col 2:11, 12)
2 whole families were baptized in the New Testament (though admittedly it never explicitly mentions infants)
3 the two sacraments in the New Testament have close ties to the Old Testament eg. Lord's Supper to the Passover, and Baptism to Circumcision. It's amazing that the Bible would not mention the change from Infants in the OT to believers exclusively in the NT. Both the other changes (including women and girls, and including gentile believers) are highlighted in different places where it talks about the covenant relationship we now have.

Long second part, but this may be behind the question. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

To go into all the lands and tell all the people of God.

The thing is, when ALL the lands have heard and have the chance to accept God, or turn Him down, the end of the world will come.
The Bible says.

What do you mean exactly--about baptism?
The Great Commission---it is saying that Jesus lives and wants you to invite Him into your heart. Then you go and tell the people how GOOD God is.
Baptism lets the public know that you have given your heart to Jesus and have changed to leading a new life--leaving the old one behind.
