The doctrine of Baptism, and it's being necessary for one's salvation, is made clear--very clear--in various places. None more clearly though than when the Lord himself said, "Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5)
Blaine, are you aware that "born of water" in v. 5 means physical birth? The context could not be more clear. Check out John 3:6. Jesus explains verse 5 for us. That is that we must be physically born AND be spiritually born. In fact, both vs. 5 and 6 are in response to Nicodemus' question about being physically born, as he confused physical and spiritual birth!
