First, salvation means salvation from death. Resurrection saves us from the grave and is a free gift to all of us because of the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Second, there is salvation into heaven. Mormons believe that all people will inherit a kingdom of heaven, except “Sons of Perdition,” who have seen Christ personally and then denied Him, thus crucifying Him anew. Those who reject a belief in Christ will not be able to avail themselves of His suffering in their behalf, so they will have to suffer for their own sins, but they will still inherit a kingdom of heaven. Third, there is salvation from sin, which I’ve partially mentioned. Through our belief in Christ, we can avail ourselves of His atonement, wherein He suffered for our sins, so we won’t have to. Fourth, there is salvation to the highest kingdom of heaven, where God’s full presence shines. For this kind of exaltation, one must be baptized by immersion by one who has authority from God.

“The other ordinances essential to salvation are received in Mormon temples”.

Does this mean you beleive that a person must be baptized in order to be saved.
