Is Water Baptism Necessary For Salvation?
Our faith in Jesus saves a person, not water baptism. This is why the thief on the cross went to paradise, having never been water baptized.

There are many reasons why people should not read the Book of Mormon. #1, it teaches a false atonement…
Mormon Teachings are in opposition with the Bible Teachings. This is obvious when we see the teachings side by side.
“And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.” (Revelation 19:15 – KJV)
“And out of his mouth proceedeth the word of God, and with it he will smite the nations and he will rule them with the word of his mouth. And he treadeth the winepress in the fierceness and wrath of almighty God.” (Revelation 19:15 – JST)
We are warned about not being led by false teachers or doing things in secret. Instead of giving into what appears to be good, we expose them as evil.
The ways of God are open to everyone and not kept secret. So what are people doing in Mormon temples, but keeping secrets?
Other sheep is speaking of the Gentiles, which were once not part of the fold in Israel. They are now gathered in through faith in Jesus.
We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
If you are a Christian and know your Bible, you will notice the majority of Mormon teachings are not Biblical but man made teachings.
The Bible is clear how we are saved. Salvation doesn’t come by way of grace plus works but by grace alone, faith alone.
The terms gentile and church were never used in the Old Testament. However, they are found in that time in the Book of Mormon.
We are saved through faith in Jesus, not through baptism. Baptism is simply a byproduct of our faith, as we desire to die to ourselves.
God’s sheep are the people of Israel. The other sheep are the gentiles. We’ve been grafted in through Christ.
Nobody is saved through their works, but through faith in Christ alone. Nobody can work their way to heaven.
We are all called by God differently, but still, we walk in the unity of the faith. Uplifting those around us with love and peace.
When we go out in faith for Christ, this is when He also does a work in us like no other. Open your mouth and He will fill it.
The Bible is clear that salvation does not go through a man-made church or through any person, but through Christ alone.
Paul taught about people being divided in the faith. Some would say to him, “I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.”
