He That Believeth And Is Baptized Shall Be Saved

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." - Mark 16:15-16

When Jesus said, “He that believeth,” He was speaking of He who believes the GOSPEL.

The GOSPEL is how that Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)  

We obey the gospel by repentance, water baptism in Jesus name for the remission of sins, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost with the speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.  

Thus, He who believes THE GOSPEL and is BAPTIZED shall be saved. 
 
Peter preached the gospel on the Day of Pentecost.
 

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39  

When they received the gift of the Holy Ghost, they spoke in tongues.  

"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." - Acts 2:4 

When Peter preached the gospel, the people responded. 

"And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls." - Acts 2:40-41  

"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. ... Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." - Acts 2:42, 47
