INTERPRETATIONS OF MARK 16:16

1. He that believes is saved, and then is baptized as a testimony of his faith.

2. An unbelieving adult shall be saved if he was baptized as an infant.

3. He that believes is saved by faith only and then is baptized so he can be a member on the local church.

4. He that believes and is sprinkled or poured shall be saved.

5. He that believes is saved even if he dies before he has chance to be baptized.

6. He that has died, but has someone believe and be baptized for him shall be saved.

7. He that, believes only, shall be saved, because water baptism is not essential to salvation.

8. Water baptism is not essential to salvation; because all of the Bibles have been mistranslated.

9. Mark 16:16 has been mistranslated because God is not smart enough to lead men to translate His word accurately.

10. God will saved men if they were going to believe, but died before they had time.

11. God knows men's heart so they do not have to believe or be baptized to be saved.

12. Creed books, catechisms, Bible commentaries, and books about Bible are the infallible word of God; therefore quoting Mark 16:16 from the Bible is at best a calculated guess as to what Jesus actually meant.
