Water appears throughout The Bible - as can be easily understood, given that the Jews were a desert-dwelling people and water was of vital importance to them. Water is life and was used as a metaphor for life. It is also used in the New Testament as a metaphor for the Christian life.

-- answer --

In the book of Genesis, it says god created the earth which was only water at first. Then, god created a firmament to separate the waters below from the waters above. God then called this firmament heaven. This passage is explaining that the sky is heaven, and above the sky there is water. It also says that the sun and the stars were placed inside the sky to help guide god's people.

Did jesus say you have to be baptized to be saved according to the bible?

This is hard to describe. The term baptize means to be submersed or totally surrounded. In the bible Jesus went down into the river to be baptized by John. It did not say he was submerged but it is implied. Jesus did say in the bible that you must be "born of water and of spirit." This is interpreted to mean to be born physically. of water, and of spirit, of the soul. Bless you on your journey.
