We agree here. Obedience does come after believing-- but it is the believing that brings one to salvation. Peter, Philip, and Paul preached believing and salvation and baptized those who had believed to salvation.
Jesus wasn't teaching a two part salvation plan here. If that was His intent, then He would have included those who are baptized but do not believe. This happens, and when it does, these folks are just wet and not not converted.
