There is still another lesson for us in the experience of those Jewish converts. When they received baptism at the hand of John they did not fully comprehend the mission of Jesus as the Sin Bearer. They were holding serious errors. But with clearer light, they gladly accepted Christ as their Redeemer, and with this step of advance came a change in their obligations. As they received a purer faith, there was a corresponding change in their life. In token of this change, and as an acknowledgment of their faith in Christ, they were rebaptized in the name of Jesus.

Der er endnu mere for os at lære gennem disse jødekristnes erfaringer. Da de modtog dåben ved Johannes, fattede de ikke fuldt ud Jesu kald som den, der bærer synden. De lå under for alvorlige vildfarelser. Men da de kom til at se klarere, modtog de med glæde Jesus som deres Frelser og hermed skete der en forandring i deres forpligtelser. Idet de modtog en renere tro, skete der en tilsvarende forvandling i deres liv. Som tegn på denne forvandling og til erkendelse af deres tro på Kristus blev de gendøbt i Jesu navn.
