What does the Bible say about baptism? Mark 16:15-16 NASB95 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. [16] He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Acts 2:38 NASB95 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." John 3:3,5 NASB95 Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." [5] Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Acts 19:4-5 NASB95 Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus." [5] When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 22:16 NASB95 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, call- ing on His name.'
