First of all, Cynical Bear is right about what Paul said. And JUST like you said in a previous post, the Apostles KNEW what they were saying and WHY. THat includes Paul, doesn't it?

So is water baptism part of the gospel or not? Is it required for remission of sins? Yes or no will do.

If it is still unclear to you then may I suggest some further study of what Scripture has to say about it?
