The Key to Bible Understanding: Baptism

Yes. The one baptism is closely connected with other elements of truth, One Lord, one faith. (Ephesians 4:5)

“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel ... He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” (Mark 16:15-16) Saved from what? Condemnation in Adam.
