What does the Bible say about repentance and baptism?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible emphasizes that repentance involves a change of mind about sin and God, leading to baptism as a public confession of faith in Christ.

The Bible, particularly in Acts 2:38, instructs us to 'repent and be baptized.' Repentance means turning away from sin and turning toward God, recognizing our need for salvation through Jesus Christ. Baptism is then an outward sign of this inward transformation, signifying our identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It is crucial to note that baptism does not in itself wash away sin; that is accomplished solely through the atoning work of Christ. Instead, baptism serves as a testimony of our faith and a command to publicly declare our commitment to follow Him.
