V. 38 “Repent ye, and
be baptized every one of
you in the name of Jesus
Christ unto the remission
of your sins.’’ They were
commanded to do two
things, (1) Repent, (2) Be
Baptized. “Repent ye,
and be baptized.”
This is to be done “in
the name of Jesus
Christ.” Though they
had despised, rejected,
and crucified Jesus, they
must now, if they would
be saved, do as he directs;
they must rely on him for
the salvation desired. The
command is plain,
“Repent ye, and be bap
tized...unto the remission
of your sins.” Repentan
ce and baptism come
before the remission of
sins.
Baptism Before Salvation
In every place in the
Bible where baptism and
salvation are mentioned
in the same connection,
baptism is always men
tioned before salvation.
Mark 1:4. “John
came, who baptized in
the wilderness and
preached the baptism of
repentence unto
remission of sins. 1. Bap
tism. 2. Remission of
sins.
Luke 3:3. “Preaching
the baptism of repentance
unto remission of sins.”
1. Baptism. 2. Remission
of sins.
Mark 16:16. “He that
believeth and is baptized
shall be saved.” 1.
Believe. 2. Baptized. 3.

Is baptism presented as
a condition of salvation
in the Great Com
mission, and in Peter’s
sermon? Is there perfect
harmony between the two
statements—-Acts 2:38
and Mark 16:15, 16?
Undue importance
should not be attached to
baptism, but that it is a
condition of salvation in
this dispensation cannot
be successfully denied.
