baptism doesn’t save, brother.

The thief on the cross was with Jesus that day without being baptized.

Baptism is not necessary to be saved. It is however, a outward expression of an inward decision, and is a good thing. Although my denomination does do infant baptism, and sprinkling, it will also do immersion. I chose to be dunked in the river I grew up fishing and swimming in. Glad I did.
But accepting by faith Jesus death and resurrection as full payment for my sins is what saved my soul. Jesus is the only way.

Baptism doesn't save you, repentance and trusting Jesus Christ and His shed blood is what saves you. Baptism is your first act of obedience and it symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection and the death of your old self and the resurrection of your new birth in Christ. That is what we Southern Baptists' believe. Glad you're going to talk with the Pastor and congrats
