Best Answer

Of course not. Good and Bad Christians have both been baptized.

Additional Comments:

Baptism is a symbolic gesture for a Christian. It shows there 'outward' willingness to 'bury' the old self into the watery grave and arise a new creature who is willing to imitate (meaning of disciple) Jesus in this life. This is why some in Christianity believe the person desiring to be baptized, be mature in age, fully repentant and have a basic knowledge of the Scripture. God then promises, upon the laying on of hands by one of His Church Ministers, to come into the new creature via His Holy Spirit - aka the Spirit of Christ (Acts 2:38; Romans 8:9-10).

Can human ever save themselves give explanation for your anwer?

Well, i am Catholic so this is what i have been taught: Yes, this is how you can save yourself by being a Christian: Once you are Baptized, you are freed from original sin which means that any sins that you have committed before being Baptized are also forgiven. So after you have been Baptized, you have technically been saved. However, you also need to go to Confession regularly to be forgiven for your sins. Make sure not to commit any mortal sins and you are good to go... However, I believe that you do not have to be a Christian to be saved. As long as you lead a good life and don't do anything really bad then i believe that you can be saved

Is a Christian a good Christian if they just go to church?

Not really, you can go to church and still not be a Christian. To tell if your a "good" Christian you look at your attitude and the things you do. If you try your best at all times to be like Jesus Christ then that makes you a "good" Christian. If you love God with all your heart and love everyone even your enemies then that's all that matters. But by loving people you follow all the other qualities of being a Christian.
