Is babtism necessary?

                Many things seems foolish to people ,if they didn't care for it.One of it is baptism so many dispute running all over the world.Some of the said it didn't matter as the thief in the cross get saved in his last breath.Gentiles received holy spirit even before they got baptized therefore some tend to say baptism is a  meaningless ritual performed by Christians.
                No, it is not. What is the purpose of wedding ring?The day a man and woman stand in front of God and priest taking their wedding vows isn't that enough?what's the need of wedding ring there?They both are madly in love and they agreed before everyone they will live together and their marriage is approved by all and registered too,still they need wedding ring.Don't they know they're married ?Is it a custom to wear the wedding ring?is it a meaningless ritual?. No,certainly not. Its a symbol of Love.Its the physical sign that they are in love with each other.Its an agreement of mutual trust between two hearts.When people see wedding ring or holy rope tied around in neck(India)  they will understand that they are couples.
               when you're simply in love you don't have much responsibilities but after marriage you both work together to build a home,carry one another problems(not just sharing),respect their traits and the list goes endlessly.Of course it is a endless journey of two people understanding each other on the way.Baptism also seems meaningless and irrelevant but it brings God and you in a mutual agreement and trust.It shows how much you love him and your life is totally dedicated to the God Almighty.Its not just a physical sign its a sign that God has given to those who love him truly.
