What is the role of baptism in the Great Commission?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism serves as a public confession of faith for those who have been made disciples through belief in Christ (Matthew 28:19).

In Matthew 28:19, the directive to baptize believers is presented after they have come to faith in Christ. This emphasizes that baptism is not a means of salvation but a public confession of one's belief that Jesus is the Savior. It represents the individual’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection, declaring that they have been saved by grace through faith, which itself is a gift from God. Thus, baptism becomes a significant act that follows genuine faith.
