ONCE you have received Salvation, you will slowly change. It is called being 'Born Again'. Your past sinful desires will diminish and you will grow closer to God and a more Christlike person in God's eyes. This is called growing in Sanctification, which is conversion and transformation of your heart, mind, and soul by God's Grace and the help of The Holy Spirit that God will send you for guidance.

Jesus said: “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning." _ John 15:26-27 |

BEING baptized by water doesn't give salvation, but it's something that God has said to do to show obedience and to show the you can go under and come up to be a new person. Jesus Himself was also baptized by John the Baptist at the beginning of His three-year ministry. |
