It begins the lifetime process of sanctification.

Can a person be saved without being baptized?

Since a person is saved by the gospel (Ro- mans 1:16), which does not include baptism (1 Corinthians 1:17; 15:3– 4), then a person can be saved without being baptized. All that is nec- essary is for a person to hear the gospel and trust Jesus Christ for eter- nal life.
