Mark 16:16

He that believeth; receives the testimony of God, and treats it, in his feelings and conduct, as true.

Is baptized; expresses his belief in God's testimony concerning his Son, not in words only, but in actions, according to Christ's directions.

Shall be saved; saved from the practice and consequences of sin; inclined and enabled to practise holiness, and to continue in it, till, through grace, he is prepared for, and raised to the eternal holiness and bliss of heaven.

Believeth not; does not so credit the testimony of God, especially in regard to his Son, and the way of life through him, as to love and obey him.

Shall be damned; shall be left in the love and practice of sin through time, and be miserable to eternity. Though salvation through Christ should be preached to all men, yet none, without believing on and obeying him, will be saved.
