What does water baptism represent?

Dear Brother Branham, my question is on baptism. When is a person saved? I have heard it was when a person believed. Some say that when you receive the Holy Ghost you are saved even though you haven’t been baptized in water, as in the case of Cornelius at Acts 10:47. Some say Paul was saved on the road to Damascus, but in Acts 22:16, says that he still had his sins three days later. Can a person be baptized in the Holy Spirit as Cornelius was and still have his sins, since he has not had water baptism, on, or is a person’s passage to Heaven not until he has had water baptism even though he has the Holy Spirit?

Now, my precious friend…Now, this brother signs his name, I don’t know him, but he signs his name. But I—I won’t call the names, because it’s not necessary, ’cause other people will be getting to them and say, “Well, I—I disagree with you on this and that.” See? And I just won’t call no names. Most...

Brother Branham, here is a question that’s been sort of puzzling to several of us here. One—on—on (pardon me) on some tapes you speak only of the Jews being saved after the Bride is raptured. (And it’s a line across.) Please explain fully about the Gentiles that don’t go in the Rapture. I thought you said that the Gentiles that were left went through the Tribulation and gave their lives for a testimony of Jesus. When He returns from the Gentiles to the Jews…when He turns from the Gentiles to the Jews, then there isn’t any more chance for the Gentiles being saved, just the Gentiles who have been saved, but not received their last day Truth will go in the Tribulation Period and then be saved in the end. Is this right? Please explain, because you said that there would be just a small number go in the Rapture. What about the people that believed in the Lord—believes in the Lord now and the way…and don’t believe the way you preach for this end-time-day Message? Will they be saved? And then the sister signed her name.

Now, very good question. Now, the first place, the confusion is, is what I have said about the Gentile’s days be done when the Tribulation…in the Tribulation. Now, I do not see the Gentiles in the Bible…The Gentile Bride, Bride, not the Gentile church now, the Gentile church will go through the Trib...
