In Matthew 28:19 Jesus says to make disciples and then to baptize those disciples…
So my question is: what must a disciple be “made” to know & practice before he is ready to become a baptized believer? (question from Brian King)

John’s Baptism
Posted: October 7, 2008 by cthoward in Scriptural QuestionTags: baptism, christianity, church, Jesus Christ
Mark 1:4 says that John was preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. In Acts 2:38, Peter tells the crowd that they must repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. The same language is used of John’s baptism that is used of the Pentecost baptism.
My question is:
Why were the Ephesian believers of Acts 19 re-baptized after receiving John’s baptism? If John preached a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, which is the same as the baptism preached on Pentecost, why did they need to be baptized again?
