Many emphasize the first half of this scripture (believe and be baptized)...many others emphasize the last half (he that believeth not shall be damned)...so if I "believe" then I'm not damned.

One will not even bother with baptism if one does not believe. So there is no need to even mention he that believeth not and is not baptized shall be damned.
Lack of necessity of baptism is all due to misunderstanding Romans 6.
