Is water baptism required of a believer today?

Bible: Yes Qur'an: No

Matthew 28:19-20 – 19. Jesus… All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 20. Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age.

Mark 16:16 – he that… is baptized shall be saved.

Acts 2:38 – The Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 22:16 – And now why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Note: There are no verses in the Qur’an which talk about water baptism.
