Can we get to heaven if we aren't baptized?
Every point below is based on the person already being saved by faith.Can we get to heaven if we aren't baptized?
Is salvation contingent upon your involvement in a religious ceremony in which something is done to your flesh? No, salvation is not by works, be it water baptism or circumcision, but by faith apart from works. Though those who have been saved get water baptized, water baptism is a work they do neither to obtain nor maintain their salvation status.Can we get to heaven if we aren't baptized?
I don't believe we need to be baptised to get to heavenCan we get to heaven if we aren't baptized?
What's the opinion of being baptised as a child? Would I still have to be baptised as my decision?
Lutherans believe in faith alone too, and they believe baptism is necessary.Is salvation contingent upon your involvement in a religious ceremony in which something is done to your flesh?

While salvation by works Christians treat everything we are to do as if continually trying to satisfy conditions for salvation, those of us who have been saved by faith apart from works go on to do things just because they're the right things to do rather than having to be motivated out of fear of condemnation as if under the law of sin and death.
Cool!I actually and honestly do not believe in infant baptism and answer your question as yes, a believers baptism is necessary to salvation so those baptised as infants need to have a believers baptism as God directs them to in adulthood.
Not everyone agrees.
Of course you can but in the early church conversion and baptism were so closely related they were nearly indiscernible. Baptism is just another remembrance of the death burial and resurrection of Christ. The Lord's Supper a remembrance of the cross. People who insist you must be baptized in water generally tell you that so they will seem like the agents of salvation. The Holy Spirit baptizes you into Christ upon hearing and believing the gospel.Can we get to heaven if we aren't baptized?

In your case baptism is not a work you can perform since you do not have the opportunity. Then you are still saved by faith, and you are justified by the works you are able to perform.I would have loved to have been baptized but have not had the opportunity. Thus the question.
