What does 'repent and be baptized' mean?

Answered in 2 sources

'Repent and be baptized' signifies the necessity of acknowledging one's sin and publicly proclaiming faith in Christ.

'Repent and be baptized' is a call to acknowledge our sinfulness, much like Naaman had to recognize his leprosy before seeking healing. The act of baptism symbolizes the washing away of sins through faith in Christ. It is a public declaration of one's decision to follow Jesus, demonstrating obedience to His command (Matthew 28:19-20). True repentance involves humility and a genuine desire for cleansing from sin, as represented in Naaman's journey to the Jordan River to dip seven times.
