Mark 16 Commentary Series: Verse 16

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark 16:16

Adam Clarke
Charles Spurgeon
Matthew Henry

 He that credits this Gospel as a revelation from God: and is baptized - takes upon him the profession of it, obliging himself to walk according to its precepts:
Baptism was appointed to be the inaugurating rite, by which those that embraced Christ owned him but it is here put rather for the thing signified than for the sign, for Simon Magus believed and was baptized, yet was not saved, Acts 8:13.
