Christ prophesied and Jesus made obedience in Baptism necessary for salvation or becoming a disciple. Those who do not comply will be damned because they DENY that Jesus Christ had more authority than their faith in their own faith. We will look at Mark 16:16 which was believed by most historic scholars to be the command of Jesus Christ well documented in many other passages. Mark begins speaking of the ARCHE of the gospel which means "the most important part of the gospel" which we can conform to as we obey that type or "pattern capable of being imitated" which is required before there is a remission sins. He then quotes Malachi about John where Malachi promises that we will be WASHED when Messiah came. He then launches into the Baptism of Jesus and John.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.The immediate question of the unbeliever is, "Do I HAVE to be baptized to be saved?" Or, "it does NOT say that he that believeth and is NOT baptized shall NOT be saved." The worst form of thinking is because "baptism does not save without faith" then "faith" is the important part and therefore, like magic, baptism is not important. In elementary thinking, faith is that which JUSTIFIES or makes one able to call on the Name of the Lord by baptism in order to be saved.
It was because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai that God abandoned the national system to worship the starry host: that is what they had done as the Levite cult in Egypt for centuries. Jacob had cursed Levi and warned us not to attend their assemblies (Genesis 49). After the fall from Grace, the tribe of Levi was dedicated to carry on the sacrificial system. After the monarchy began, the godly people attended the Synagogue or church in the wilderness on the rest days and were quarantined from the sacrificial system
Christ in the prophets identified the Civil-Military-Clergy system as parasites and robbers. The ungodly nobility saw their curse as a blessing but Christ in the prophets identified them as especially unrighteous and not fit for God's acceptance: they needed what is used in the New Testament as baptism.
The neaning of baptism began when Christ in Spirit BREATHED inspiration into Isaiah who wrote.
Isa 1:1 THE vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz,
which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem
in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hez“ekiah, kings of Judah.Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken,
..........I have nourished and brought up children,
..........and they have rebelled against me. Isa 1:2The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his masters crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. Isa 1:3
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers,
.......... children that are corrupters:
.......... they have forsaken the Lord,
.......... they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,
.......... they are gone away backward. Isa 1:4Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. Isa 1:5
From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Isa 1:6
Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. Isa 1:7
Isa 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord:
.......... I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
.......... and the fat of fed beasts;
.......... and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.Isa 1:12 When ye come to appear before me,
.......... who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?Isa 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations;
.......... incense is an abomination unto me;
.......... the new moons and sabbaths,
.......... the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with;
.......... it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.Isa 1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth:
.......... they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.Isa 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands,
.......... I will hide mine eyes from you:
.......... yea, when ye make many prayers,
.......... I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.Isa 1:16 Wash you, make you clean;
.......... put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
.......... cease to do evil;Isa 1:17 Learn to do well;
.......... seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,
.......... judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
.......... though your sins be as scarlet,
.......... they shall be as white as snow;
.......... though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.Isa 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Isa 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel,
.......... ye shall be devoured with the sword:
.......... for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.Isa 1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot
.......... it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.Just after the Great Commission to make disciples by baptizing them and teaching what Christ taught, Mark wrote
While some copies do not have this portion of Mark, it agrees with the prophecy of Christ and the Commandments of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, many church theologians quoted the context of the verse. Jesus warned that doctors of the law take away the key to knowledge and modern theologians study theology and rarely have the inclination or maybe ability to search out that which is not required to defend the creed of those who pay him as a doctor of the law.BEHOLD, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. Malachi 3:1
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiners fire, and like fullers soap: Malachi 3:2
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and
he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Malachi 3:3
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.Here are some quick notes from the Latin to prove that the Greek PISTIS or faith (faithfulness) does not mean belief only.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Xen. Mem. 4.4. [17] And how is the individual citizen less likely to incur penalties from the state, and more certain to gain honour than by obeying [peithoito] the laws? How less likely to be defeated in the courts or more certain to win? Whom would anyone rather trust [pisteuseie] as guardian of his money or sons or daughters? Whom would the whole city think more trustworthy [pisteuseian] than the man of lawful conduct? From whom would parents or kinsfolk or servants or friends or fellow-citizens or strangers more surely get their just rights?
Xen. Sym. 8.36 We could all come to one mind, I think, on the point I am trying to make, if we were to consider the question in this way: of two lads, the objects of the different types of love, which one would a person prefer to trust (Pisteo) with his money, or his children, or to lay under the obligation of a favour? My own belief is that even the person whose love is founded on the loved one's physical beauty would in all these cases rather put his trust (Pisteuo)in him whose loveliness is of the spirit.
Diod. 12.15 Now at first glance a man sees nothing wise or outstanding in this law, but when it is explored deeply it is found to be justly worthy of praise. For if the reason is sought out why he entrusted (Pisteuo) the property of orphans to one group and the rearing of them to another, the lawgiver is seen to have shown an unusual kind of ingenuity
A person, that I know not who he is, and have never beheld him with my eyes before this day, should I be entrusting gold to him?

So, to attain this object, both the lyre-master and his pupil must use the notes of the lyre, because of the distinctness of its strings, assigning to the notes of the song notes in tune with them; but as to divergence of sound and variety in the notes of the harp, when the strings sound the one tune and the composer of the melody another, or when there results a combination of low and high notes, of slow and quick time, of sharp and grave,i.e. the notes of the instrument must be in accord with those of the singer's voice. “The tune, as composed by the poet, is supposed to have comparatively few notes, to be in slowish time, and low down in the register; whereas the complicated variation, which he is condemning, has many notes, is in quick time, and high up in the register.”[812e] and all sorts of rhythmical variations are adapted to the notes of the lyre,—no such complications should be employed in dealing with pupils who have to absorb quickly, within three years, the useful elements of music.
