48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

What does it mean to be a Baptist?

Acts 1
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
