Undergoing water baptism is a work that reflects the salvation of the new believer. It is emulation of the act that Christ Himself undertook.

While important, it is not a requirement to enter paradise.

Thank you. Exactly right.

It’s a profession to the world that the “baptizee” has accepted Christ and has been saved. important, but not required for salvation.
