Yes. Water baptism is only a symbolic gesture, even if you believe it to be a very important part in a Christian's life or not, it's ultimately only symbolic. As far as works, these are an expression of Christ's love through a Christian to others, not something that can be done to gain entrance to heaven. The Bible only cites that belief in Jesus is the only requirement for eternal life.\n\nAnd I'm 23, not quite a teenager anymore, but still young enough. :)
