Certainly not water baptism
That was replaced by the baptism in holy spirit, the gift from God who is the Holy Spirit.
The original outpouring of the gift from the Holy Spirit, which is holy spirit, is the baptism of or in holy spirit, but that progressed to being referred to as baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, which has nothing to do with water.
Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ refers to all that the life, death, resurrection, ascension, seating at the right hand of God and the giving of the gift is to the born again believer.
Short answer NO.
Rebirth of water and the Spirit is the gateway into the first resurrection and the Millenial Kingdom.
But few will find that narrow path.
Most will be saved by the pure mercy of God after the second resurrection.
”Whatever you did for the least of my brothers you did for me”
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands, and they cry out with a loud voice , saying.
” Salvation to our God Who sits on the Throne, and to the Lamb”
And all the angels were standing around the Throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying
” Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen”
then one of the elders answered saying to me,
” these who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where are they from?”
I said to him,
“ my lord, you know”
And he said to me,
” These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the Throne of God: and they serve Him day and night in His Temple: and He Who sits on the throne will spread His Tabernacle over them. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore, nor will the Sun bear down on them, nor any heat : for the Lamb in the centre of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”)
