Answer
Hi,
You not need to be baptized in order to go to Heaven. Go to Luke 23:39-43. When Jesus was at the cross He saved one of the criminal who was hung on the cross as well. and Jesus told him: I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise... But. if you can get baptized is much better... Baptized is a way to tell the world the you died for the world and you raise to Jesus Christ. Go to Romans 6:4 . Thank you
