Bible and life

From the first verses of the 3rd chapter of John, we learn that unless one is born again, he will not enter the kingdom of God. And further Jesus explains what it means to be born again - "of water and the Spirit." That is, it is clear that He means baptism. So, being born again is baptism. Likewise, Paul in Romans 6 says that baptism is death and birth, and now we walk in newness of life. And in the epistle to Titus, Paul writes that we are saved by the "washing of regeneration." Does this mean, then, that baptism is necessary for our salvation? And not faith alone?

Faith is a necessary condition for salvation. But if it is not expressed in any way, then faith without works is dead, because it remains a purely theoretical conviction. Faith is saving insofar as it transforms our lives, manifesting itself in actions. If a person has believed in Christ, then how will this be primarily expressed, if not in baptism? Or, if a person is not baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, does he truly believe in Him? That is why the apostle Paul repeatedly speaks of the saving nature of baptism, which expresses our faith and incorporates us into the Body of Christ.
