Can someone be saved without baptism?

Answered in 1 source

Yes, someone can be saved without baptism, as salvation is through faith alone, not through works.

The narrative of the thief on the cross illustrates that salvation is not contingent upon baptism. In Luke 23:42-43, the thief expresses faith in Jesus, and Christ assures him of salvation, even though he was never baptized. This demonstrates that while baptism is an important ordinance, it is not a means of grace nor a requirement for salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 solidifies this point by declaring that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works. Therefore, while baptism should be pursued by all believers as a sign of obedience and commitment, one can be saved without having undergone the act of baptism.
