I already explained that in my previous post. The understanding was that converted included water baptism and the in filling of the Holy Ghost. The times of refreshing, and the restitution of all things are added. Also Peter is not talking to American Pentecostals or Baptists, he was speaking to religious first century Jews, and they understood the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy concerning Messiah.
John 1:25
"And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?"
The Jews of the first century AD understood that the Messiah would come baptizing, or performing the mikvah of repentence.
To say that water baptism is not an important part of the plan of salvation is to teach another Gospel, don't you agree?
