In order to be considered a Christian and go to heaven you must be "born again" which means you figuratively die to your old sinful life and born again into your new Christian life and walk with the Lord. In being obedient to the Lord, Christians demonstrate this by being baptized, which literally means being fully submerged in water. When you are submerged that symbolizes the death and burial of your old life and the death and burial of Jesus Christ, and when you are brought out of the water it symbolizes your birth into your new life, and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Hope that helped some
