Likewise if people will have faith and repent and join the church and be baptized in Jesus name they to will be saved.
Note: Repentance means to obey God not just feel sorry about past sins though that is part of it. It is turning from sin and towards God - doing His will.
Baptism in response to faith and repentance in Jesus name for the remission/forgiveness of sin, the infilling of the Holy Ghost and leading a godly life will. Any of these missing and you will not be saved.
Now can you answer the simple question: "yes" or "no"?

Nope. The scripture was posted suggesting that baptism saves us. I'm assuming that your simple answer would be no, baptism does not save us.
I'm waiting on the fella who posted it to answer it though. I doubt that's going to happen, to be honest. As I said earlier, I've never met anyone who believes that baptism saves us.
