I don't know all the details. I just know what I've observed, and what I remember being told when I was baptized which was years ago.

Here's a linky for you spot.

Scrutinize away!

But it looks like the baptism part is up for debate.

Personally no I don't baptism should be required to get to heaven. I think the important part is just being saved. But that's a whole nother debate.
