There are a variety of worldly views on Mark 16:16 and how it pertains to one's salvation. We know that we are saved through the grace of God. However, this does not excuse the need for Christians to believe in Him and Jesus Christ as well as the need for baptism into the body of Christ.
As Mark states in this verse, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved..."
This lesson evaluates this verse and several other passages all pointing to the necessity of belief followed by baptism, not to earn salvation, but as an outward expression of our faith commanded by the word of God.
