Since Jesus' goal was to offer a way of salvation through faith in Him and a new testament/covenant (works of OT can no longer justify), I find it a little ironic that we spend so much time and energy trying to say water baptism is mandatory and without it, you'll be lost. If water baptism was a jewish tradition as to identify onesself with a sect or to testify of ones intent, is it at all possible that the same purpose applies today?

Should they repent. Maybe repentance is only good in the OT?
Act 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
Act 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
