I think he may have been going for a finer point here. What Adino seems to have been saying is that Christ commanded his apostles (and their subsequent disciples) to teach and to baptize. Christ, in this view, would not then be seen as commanding people on the street to be baptized, though baptism would obviously be a result of the apostles' teaching.
This seems to be a point that places a heavy emphasis upon the "teachers" being responsible for making sense and effectively reaching the people on the street. My experience is that few "teachers" seem to want to accept such a responsibility.
