Baptism is necessary because:
- it is through baptism that we are initially saved
- it is through baptism that we join the "People of God." He becomes our Father and we become His children.
- it is through baptism that all our sins are forgiven
- it is the "gateway sacrament" that makes all the other sacraments of the Church available to us
