I don't see how one can not see this said very clearly by Christ Himself.

For the umpteenth time, I do not deny what it states. I deny what you are attempting to derive from it.

[Cronos]

And finally, note that it is not I deriving something from it, but your posts which is adding human logic to the very simple words of Christ 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. -- Believe AND be baptise and one is saved. Believe not, baptism doesn't follow and one is damned. That's God's logic -- human logic is If A then B does not imply If not A then not B(inverse). It does imply If not B then not A(contrapositive).
