No to young earth creationism.
But yes to baptism, not necessarily baptism itself since there are examples of salvation without baptism but you cannot deny that baptism is a normative sacrament that should be practiced.

Yes baptism is necessary, or no it isn't? I'm not sure what you mean 'not necessarily baptism itself'.

Are there any ideas or theories that are specifically necessary for salvation?

I know Lutherans, Catholics, the Early Church, and the Church of Christ believed in baptismal regeneration. John Calvin & Matthew Henry seemed to have believed baptismal regeneration could happen - but not necessary. Yet, Calvin believed in Infant Baptism for salvation as well as Luther and John Wesley.
