Acts 2:38 - Additional Comments

Repent = Change of mind resulting in a change of behavior. Delayed obedience is disobedience.
Did they sprinkle (rhantizo)? Did they pour (cheo)? Or did they immerse (baptizo)?
In the baptisms in the New Testament there was: water - Acts 8:36, much water - John 3:23, a going into water - Acts 8:38, a coming out of water - Matthew 3:16, a burial -Romans 6:4, a resurrection - Romans 6:4-5, and a washing - Acts 22:16. Only in immersion do you have all the above.
"Baptize" (baptizo) = "immerse"; to make fully wet or "submerge & emerge". Embapto means to dip or make wet, as in Mark 14:20.

Verses that indicate baptism is not required for salvation: 1 Cor 1:14, Acts 16:30-34, Rom 10:8-10, Rom 10:13, 1 John 5:13, Rom 10:1-4, John 13:3-11, 2 Peter 3:9, John 1:12-13, Acts 10:43, Acts 10:44-48, Gal 2:16.
