Bible Question: Do you have to be baptized to be saved? |

Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.John 1:12 But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God.All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.And last but definately not least Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of ourselves it is a gift of God. |
