The 2 are acquired by obeying Acts 2:38.
Repent=death/blood shed(Christ died...we die) .
Water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins=the shed blood of Christ applied as we are buried with Him.

Christians are not to believe in John's Wate rBaptism that was found in the old Testament.
WE are not in the Old Testament, and Peter was not up to speed yet, in Acts 2.
So, what we do, is obey the Gospel of the Grace of God, which is...."Justification by Faith".. that came from PAUL.
What this means.......Is that God accepts our Faith in Christ to give us "the gift of Righteousness".
This happens, when we are born again...
God saves us with the blood of Jesus, the the Holy Spirit gives us the "new birth", and we are born again into God's Spirit, becoming "ONE with God and Christ", and that is SALVATION.
Busted!
I knew someone here would finally say "Peter was wrong".
Thank you for finally admitting it for the rest of the folks on this thread.

The Apostles LIVED with Jesus - who TAUGHT them to Baptize.
YOU don't think that they were Baptized because you're a Sola Scripturist - which is a self-refuting, anti-Biblical place to be.
EVERY person in that Upper Room on Pentecost was probably already Baptized as well. As for the 3000 people who were Baptized in Jerusalem that day - YOU believe that to be a lie because you make a habit of rejecting God's Word.
You've rejected just about everything He has to say regarding Baptism - so why should this be ANY different?
By the way - did Jesus tell the Apostles to do anything else, like eat or go to the bathroom? If it's not in the Bible - it didn't happen, right??
What a mess you've made of your faith . . .

NO if one is sola scripturist , they would know the scriptures my friend . As i do love those holy words .
AND THEM words , which JESUS said , included BEING BAPTIZED . so no you are wrong on that note .
A true lover the the scriptures , would Love ALL the scriptures and not the twisted views of men .
SO at least lets not call this person a sola scripturist . cause it just aint so . IF they did love the scrips
THEY would love ALL the scrips . which , JESUS did say BAPTIZE THEM and teach them to do ALL THINGS i have commanded .
All Christians including peter are baptized, it is the initiation into the new covenant
