It does not save to be baptised but, you have to be baptised in order to be with god
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, Baptism saves you, by washing away all your sins, and the punishment due to those sins. It makes you a child of God, and infuses you with supernatural, saving grace.Biblical Answer:
No, baptism is a symbolic 'burial' of the old self and the rising out of the water as a new creature. It is a necessary step after full repentance and the receiving God's Holy Spirit to follow Christ our perfect example who brings Salvation.

Baptism
Baptism was not influenced it was given to us by Jesus. It reminds us that Jesus died on the cross and took away all of our sins.
Baptism is a way of cleansing yourself in Christianity. When you get baptized, Christians think of it as becoming a new life. As you fall into the water, your old self goes away, and as you get out of the water, your life is renewed. +++++ The baptism which is required for salvation is through the Living Water (Jesus Christ). The Bible frequently says to be baptized in His name and receive the Holy Spirit. There's nothing wrong with water baptism (immersion in water), yet this does not save a person. Salvation is given to us through believing that Jesus is God and putting our trust in Him. The Bible tells us that we need to acknowledge He is God by confessing the Truth with our mouth. By asking Him for salvation, we are acknowledging our sinfulness and that He alone is able to save us. Ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit. His Holy Spirit is our seal of salvation. Some reference verses: Acts 8:20, Acts 4:12, Acts 2:38, Acts 19:1-6 - Baptism is immersion. When a person is "baptized," he is completely immersed in something. When a person is "baptized by the Holy Spirit," he is immersed in God's Spirit. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the literal baptism. Every other baptism pictures, or typifies, the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:5).   There are seven baptisms in total. The six other baptisms include: Moses baptism (1 Corinthians 10:2), John's baptism (also known as "the baptism of repentance" Acts 19:3), the baptism of sufferings (Matthew 20:22; Mark 10:38), the Jewish baptism (Acts 2:38), the Gentile baptism (Matt. 28:19; Acts 8:37-38), and the baptism of fire (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16). They all point to the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
