What exactly does He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved mean?
This verse comes from the King James Version of Mark chapter 16, verse 16, which reads He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. You need to read this verse in the context of the verses around it to understand its meaning. In this sentence, spoken by Jesus, the verb believeth means to believe in Jesus and put your faith in Jesus to take us to heaven. That is, to believe that Jesus really is who He says He is (the Son of God, and God Himself) and that He can redeem (purchase through His sacrifice on the cross) all of us who accept Him as Savior from the penalty we should pay ourselves (go to hell for sinning against God). We are also told to demonstrate this belief by being baptized. For a little more on these topics, see our pages Getting Right With God and What Is Baptism? If the idea of Jesus being both the Son of God and God Himself is a little confusing, see our page What is the Trinity?
