Pel, Mike is saying Baptism saves us, so long as in view of the resurrection and done in faith. It's not a direct link, or an exclusive device. That's the way I'm understanding him.
Of course, I believe the Bible that we are saved by faith -- those things which follow are "because of" faith, and not "for faith" or "for salvation." Nor are they to "prove something to God."
