If you came down with a life threatening deseas, would you ask your friend or your hair stylist what to do? No, you would make sure you got your information straight from a qualified doctor. Yet today, when it comes to the question of "how to get saved", millions of people just do what someone tells them to do. They put their trust in people.
Why not take the time to stop and see what the Bible says about "How to become a Christian". People will tell you that baptism is not a part of what you do to get saved. But if you read your Bible, you find a very different picture.
