    Baptism involves immersion in water and is described in the New Testament as being necessary for salvation, the remission of sins, and being added to the body of Christ. It is presented as something that followed conversion for believers like those on the day of Pentecost, the Samaritans, Saul, the Ethiopian eunuch, Lydia, and the Philippian jailer. While justification is by faith, baptism is a symbolic burial with Christ and cleansing from sins. The document addresses the objection that the thief on the cross was not baptized by explaining he lived before Christ established baptism as a requirement.
