Here the Bible clearly describes the baptism which was taught and practiced in the early church and which puts one "into Jesus Christ" as a burial. Paul said, "We are buried with him by baptism into death". Again, in Colossians Chapter 2, verse 12, we read that we are "buried with him in baptism". Nowhere in the Bible is the action of Christian baptism described as being anything other than "a burial", or an immersion in water. In Mark Chapter 1, verse 5, we find that John baptized in water. The ... And Philip said, 'If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest'. And he answered and said, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God'.

Is Church Membership Essential to my salvation? ... As discussed earlier, membership in the church results as the believer obeys God's will: Thus we must ask, "But does this membership in the Lord's church commit the believer to meet with an earthly body, to carry out responsibilities to others, and to perform Christian duties which cannot be done alone?". To answer this question, we observe that Acts 2:42 ... It is obvious that God both intended and directed his followers to meet together in earthly assembly. If one believes in Christ and is obedient unto salvation he becomes, mandatory, a member of the Lord's church. This membership confers both rights and duties: The right is salvation if, we remain faithful members until death. The duties are those previously mentioned, and others. Some of these other duties are: Obey civil government (Rom. 13:1-4); bring forth fruit unto God (John 15:7-8); love and pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44-48). worship in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:23,24); remain unspotted by worldly things (Jas. 1:27); ... ... https://www.bible.ca/r-church-membership-essential.htm
