You don't need Mark 16:16 to prove the necessity of baptism for salvation. The Epistles do a fine job of showing that the ONLY way we get IN Christ is Baptism.

It might or might not and as you said it really doesn't matter anyway as it only bears witness of what is clear in scripture already. If it stood alone.... It doesn't though. How people even attempt to negate baptism in that scripture is sad. Context and thought process is pretty clear.
