It's interesting that Paul in Ephesians 5.26 speaks of 'the washing of water by the Word'; in other words, not salvation by the performance of a rite, but sanctification through the cleansing influence of God's Word and its message.I'm of the opinion that baptism is necessary to be a christian. Jesus himself was baptised. John 3:5, "Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
